Overview
The Krups 10942226550 keeps the feature set minimal: a 5-cup capacity, 650W power draw, reusable filter, and stainless steel construction at 2.78 pounds. The machine measures 5.71 x 8.07 x 10.08 inches, making it one of the more compact drip brewers on the market and easy to tuck under upper cabinets or onto a crowded counter.
It runs at 650W, which is lower than most full-sized drip machines and reflects the smaller water volume it is heating. The reusable filter eliminates ongoing paper filter purchases, and the dishwasher-safe designation covers cleaning of removable parts. At 120 volts, it works with standard US outlets. Controls are button-based with fully automatic operation.
With 22,500 reviews at 4.1 stars, this machine has one of the largest review counts among compact 5-cup drip brewers. A 4.1-star average across that many buyers reflects a machine that reliably does what it says without surprising people in either direction.

What buyers say
The 22,500-review pool is the standout data point here. At 4.1 stars across that volume, the machine has a realistic and honest rating rather than a small-sample-inflated one. Most buyers are satisfied with basic performance for 5-cup daily use. Lower-rated reviews tend to focus on longevity beyond a year of use rather than immediate performance issues.
