From The Manufacturer

Braun’s BrewSense 12-Cup Drip Coffee Maker features a glass Flavor Carafe that seals in the fresh flavor by minimizing air exposure. Each satisfying cup begins with Braun’s unique Pure Flavor system to ensure your coffee is made at the right temperature and brewing time to extract the best flavor and aroma. An automatic, programmable 24-hour timer means you won’t have to wait to enjoy that first sip the moment you want it. And the anti-drip system allows you to pour anytime during the brewing cycle. Plus, the Braun gold-tone filter, unlike paper, enhances the flavor of your coffee by allowing essential oils to reach your cup. In addition, a “CLEAN” warning will illuminate when it’s time to descale, so the best coffee flavor can be maintained. The Brew Sense’s elegant design features a premium display with LED indicators and easy-to-read buttons, convenient cord storage, smaller footprint and lower profile. And the sleek stainless steel and white finish will look stunning in any kitchen. With the BrewSense, you know you’re going to have a satisfying cup of goodness to savor time after time

Expert Reviews


What reviewers liked

It has a programmable timer and auto shutoff as well as a brew pause system so you can pour a cup of coffee during the brew cycle without causing a mess.
Cleaning is also easy. The use of permanent gold filters remove the need to deal with flimsy paper filters, which may tear and spill out the leftover coffee grounds.
Lots of drip coffee machines can make 12 cups, but not as efficiently as the BrewSense KF6050WH. While this brand is known for hand blenders, its drip machines are not to be scoffed at. The KF6050WH is programmable and reasonably priced.

What reviewers didn't like

Although customers agree that this Braun model serves up a steaming hot cup of coffee, there are some concerns with the “keep warm” controls on the machine malfunctioning.
No options to adjust brew strength
Can lose settings when unplugged. Carafe drips when used aggressively.
