About - Kenmore 6963

The Kenmore 6963 is part of the coffeemaker test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, drip coffeemaker models like the 6963 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below.


Brew performance:
Brew performance is the ability to reach 195°F or more for six minutes.

Convenience:
Convenience reflects ease of filling the reservoir, placing the filter, gauging the amount of coffee remaining, cleanup, and clarity of controls.

Carafe handling:
Carafe handling covers handle comfort, tendency to drip when pouring, balance of a full carafe, and how easy it was to empty the last liquid. Models with no score here brew into single-serve containers, or are dispenser-style. Dispenser models hold the brew in a tank; you fill your cup by pressing it against the dispenser lever.

Comment:
Works Okay, nothing special. One big drawback and it's something I'll pay more attention to next time.<br />When you lift the lid to add coffee, water or remove the old coffed grounds; the condensed water inside the lid drips behind the coffee maker requiring one to move it and clean up everytime.<br />For this reason, I would not buy another nor would I recommend it to anyone.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
