Most of the customers that bought the KitchenAid KPCM050PM Pro Line Single-Carafe Coffee Maker rated it as a superior machine that produces outstanding hot coffee. It is well-made and was built like a commercial unit.
You’ll often hear complaints about the temperature of the coffee with other coffee machine brands or models. Customers would say that coffee comes out not hot enough. But KitchenAid Pro Line has perfected that aspect of coffee-making. Customers are very pleased with the hot, great tasting brewed coffee that this machine makes.
Another usual complaint that you will get from coffeemaker owners is that the machine they bought doesn’t make the number of cups it stated it would make. It usually is lesser than expected. And in this case, KitchenAid Pro Line failed their customers because the coffeemaker is not producing 12 cups as promised.
A customer specifically pointed out that a cup of coffee measures 6 ounces. This coffee machine would make 12 cups as it claims if you would fill each cup with just 4 and a quarter ounces of coffee.
KitchenAid Pro Line boasts its die-cast metal construction, but one of the customers made a point about the plastic handle on the stainless steel filter basket. Plastic retains odors and tastes and is harder to clean.
The handle also loosens overtime and eventually breaks. Another issue is the leaking carafe. It accumulates water between the wide plastic ring at the top of the carafe and the glass, which then leaks when brewing.
The other customer concerns: the paint starts to chip off after a few uses. It has no gauge so you don’t see how much water you have already poured.
