Product Description
Two double walled insulated stainless steel thermal carafes equip you to serve plenty of hot, fresh coffee at home or at the office. You can brew a pot of flavored or a pot of decaf, in addition to a pot of regular. Brewing options allow you to brew as little as one 5 cup pot and as much as two 20 cup pots. It's equipped with the Krups Deep Brew system which features a special filtering action for maximum flavor without bitterness. It als has a specially designed heating and tubing system which minimizes calcification and leaves no residual water in the system when brewing is complete.
Amazon.com Review
Your spouse prefers a brewed cup of dark French Roast in the morning, while you prefer to finish off a whole pot of mild, lighter-bodied coffee during the course of the day. How to satisfy everyone? This dual coffeemaker has two independent carafes, filter holders, water chambers, and water level indicators so you can simultaneously brew up to 10 large cups of each person's favorite blend. The DuoThek is also great for offering both caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee at dinner parties or in a small office. Krups's special Deep Brew System employs a unique filtering action to enrich the flavor of any ground beans, and a double-walled filter preserves coffee aroma and keeps brewing at the optimum temperature. The controls on this coffeemaker are few and completely idiot-proof. They consist of separate illuminated power switches for each side of the coffeemaker and a button that slows the brewing cycle down when brewing less than three cups (works on the left side of the coffeemaker only). Each of the thermal stainless-steel carafes is double insulated to keep beverages hot for hours and preserve flavor. The carafes include plastic screw-top lids for additional heat retention and have a spout that ensures drip-free pouring from any angle. This coffeemaker uses paper filters and is covered by a limited one-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde

unhappy coffee drinker January 16, 2004

My husband and I received this coffeemaker as a gift for Christmas. My husband wanted the dual caraffe that it touts. However, our previous coffeemaker had a timer and a one minute "sneak a cup" feature. I believe this machine is slower than what we had prior. I also have a problem with the temperature of the coffee. To boast that you blend a better cup of coffee doesn't matter if I end up putting my cup of cold coffee in the microwave to heat it up! I'm very dissatisfied with this machine. I expected more from KRUPS and can't believe the price. It is not worth it.
 Inferior, overpriced coffee maker that should be avoided December 21, 2003

Although this coffee maker looks like an attractive product, there is one very significant problem that must be remedied in future models: the poor heating. This appliance makes a decent, if unexceptional cup of coffee, but unlike with other Krups models, the temperature cannot be adjusted. Indeed, the owner's manual only recommends using hotter water at the outset, but that's also insufficient. Furthermore, once the coffee is brewed, the already lukewarm coffee grows cold rather quickly in the dual carafes. Finally, the price for this product is wildly out of step with its quality. If the problems I outlined could be fixed or a grind and brew feature was added, then the price would be acceptable. As it is, however, I feel as though I was gouged. Overall, I was very, very disappointed with this product and ended up returning it. I would encouraged Krups to get back to the drawing board with this maker and solve that problem with the heating. The idea of a dual coffee maker is a great one, and this is a product I would try again, but as it stands now, I must encourage all buyers to steer clear of this model, unless you prefer tepid coffee.

I wish I had read the review of the duothek before I purchased it. No matter what you do , rinse with hot water before brewing the coffee comes out to be very disappointing. If you add milk forget it , you might as well make iced coffee!
 Makes good coffee, but missing key features November 16, 2003
20 out of 21 found this review helpful
We replaced a single Krups stainless coffee maker with a new duotek stainless. We like the way it looks. Makes good coffee. Krups makes good, long lasting products. Only knock on this one is no digital display and no preset coffee timer (had both of these features on last one). Krups should rethink pricing strategy. This should be 179 with key features I mentioned. Consider returning it for Delonghi which has those features for 179.
Poor quality and appearance for Krups DuoThek January 9, 2004
19 out of 19 found this review helpful
We ordered this product but when we opened it at Christmas, it was in very poor condition. Covered with white powdery substance that was like a greasy coating. Nothing cleaned it completely. It's as though the unit was subjected to high heat along the way and the plastic wrap stuck to the unit. It was unsanitary in appearance. The construction quality was sub par, not up to the price of the unit. We returned it (By the way, Amazon made us pay the return shipping costs!) We are continuing to look for an alternative elsewhere.
