Solid for a small-footprint drip maker, but confirm filter type before ordering if a reusable filter is the reason you're buying it.

Overview
Built for one or two coffee drinkers, Krups' Simply Brew Compact is a 5-cup drip machine sized for a small kitchen, office desk or dorm room rather than a full household pot.
- Brews 5 cups for 1-2 people
- Stainless steel exterior wipes clean
- Dishwasher-safe carafe and filter basket
- No-drip spout design
Who it's for
A single coffee drinker or a couple wanting a fresh small pot, rather than a full 10- or 12-cup machine sitting half empty, is the right buyer here. It's the wrong pick if a reusable filter is the deciding feature, since real-world reports on that point conflict with the listing.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Buyers moving from a French press or a bigger machine describe the coffee as consistently hot, crediting the conical filter basket for even extraction. The recurring complaints are the glass carafe's fragility (no borosilicate option) and the auto-shutoff timing feeling too quick for slow mornings; one long-term reviewer also flags that the reusable-filter claim in the listing doesn't match the paper-filter setup they received.

- Conical filter basket for even extraction
