## Krups Simply Brew to Go: Full Demo and Review

For coffee lovers, the morning cup is more than just a beverage; it’s a ritual that sets the tone for the day. In an era where convenience and quality are paramount, the Krups Simply Brew to Go promises both, wrapped up in an attractive, compact design. Let’s delve into a full demo and review of this product to see if it really lives up to the expectations.

### Introduction to Krups Simply Brew to Go

The Krups Simply Brew to Go is a single-serve coffee maker designed for busy individuals who don’t want to compromise on the quality of their morning brew. Compact and sleek, it is specifically engineered for brewing directly into a travel mug, making it ideal for those mornings when time is of the essence.

### Unboxing and Setup

Unboxing the Krups Simply Brew to Go, you’ll find the main brewing unit, a stainless steel travel mug (designed to fit most car cup holders), a permanent coffee filter, and a measuring spoon. The setup is straightforward:
1. Place the coffee maker on a flat surface.
2. Insert the permanent filter into the filter basket.
3. Fill the water reservoir with fresh water (up to 12 oz).
4. Add your preferred ground coffee into the filter.
5. Position the included travel mug or any other suitable container under the drip.

The simplicity of setting up this machine means you can go from unboxing to sipping your first cup of coffee in just minutes.

### Design and Features

One of Krups Simply Brew to Go’s standout features is its minimalist design which not only looks good on any countertop but also makes operation intuitive. With just one button – ON/OFF – this machine does not bother with complicated settings or programmable features, focusing instead on delivering a consistent brew each time.

Additionally, its compact size ensures it doesn’t take up much space – perfect for smaller kitchens or office environments. The use of a permanent filter is both eco-friendly and cost-effective as it eliminates the need for disposable paper filters.

### Brewing Performance

To test its brewing capabilities:
1. We used medium ground coffee recommended for drip machines.
2. We made sure that water levels were correct according to provided measurements.
3. We observed both speed and temperature.

The Krups Simply Brew To Go heats up quickly (in about 2 minutes), which means your fresh cup of coffee is ready almost immediately after you hit that ON button. The temperature during brewing hovers around 195-205 degrees Fahrenheit – ideal for extracting maximum flavor from ground coffee without scalding it.

### Coffee Quality Test

For our taste test:
– The aroma was rich upon brewing.
– The flavor was robust without any bitterness typically associated with over-extraction.
– Thanks also in part due to its effective extraction method which ensures full-bodied taste even from finer blends meant specifically for espresso shots; evidence that KRUPS paid attention when adjusting this brewer’s functionality towards optimizing everyday use-case scenarios like quick morning routines before work or school runs.

### Cleaning and Maintenance

Cleaning is simple: discard spent grounds from reusable filters after use; rinse under running water every few days depending upon usage frequency; decalcify machine monthly using white vinegar/water solution per manufacturer’s instructions so as maintain optimal operation statuses over time which could otherwise be hampered by scale buildup common across all types brewers regardless brand/model specifics.

– Eco-friendly with no need for paper filters
