Our only real complaint is that the carafe is hard to clean.

Heres how this new gadget stacked up against the otherbest coffee makersthat weve tested.

Its also available through popular retailers likeAmazonandTarget, but the price is slightly higher, often around $180.

Braun ® MultiServe Plus…

The Braun coffee maker has some stainless steel accents, but most of the machine is black plastic.

This makes it challenging to clean youll need some sort of bottle brush to do so thoroughly.

By raising the mug closer to the dispenser, it helps eliminate splatter.

Crate & Barrel

you might either use cone-shaped paper filters or the gold tone filter that comes with the machine.

We tried it both ways, and the results were consistent regardless of the filter used.

Over ice

The MultiServe Plus is also able to brew coffee directly over ice.

There are a few differences in the brewing process when youre making cold brew in this machine.

For one, you cant use the gold tone filter instead, you have to use a paper filter.

I opted to make 20 ounces of cold brew, and the brewing process took around 15 minutes.
