I am in the market AGAIN for a new coffee maker, this is my 4th in the last 2 years, this one did great for the first 3 months, now it leaks all over the counter for no apparent reason. The space for adding water is TINY. I make sure and put exactly 12 cups of water in machine, 3 end up all over my counters at 6 am and the rest is in the pot of not overly hot coffee. Would NOT recommend this maker to anyone, EVER.
Have the towels ready, folks, if you're gonna use this baby. It's *way* too small. Yeah. Heck, sponges even.I'd trade the fancy-schmancy little timer thing for a bigger reservoir any old day.But that's not all.Sometimes, for no apparent reason, as the coffee is brewing, it leaks out of the thing (I still haven't figured out where, or how). Yeah, I wind up dumping water all over the counter every time. And that is only the beginning.If you happen to overfill it, there is a nifty little hole in the back of the coffee maker that water gushes out of. Once the coffee is finished, you have a nice 2/3 full pot of java.It's such a piece of junk I want my old coffee maker back that I bought at a garage sale for three bucks.Looking to buy a coffee maker. Look elsewhere.
Overall I'd say this is an average coffee maker. A good thing about this maker is that the temperature seems good, it stays hot but not scalding.
I hope he didn't pay much for it, because after a month it's broken. My sweetie gave me this coffee maker for my birthday.
I agree with previous reviewers that the reservoir opening is poorly located because it's hard to pour into and also because you can't add water later in the cycle. I put the drip basket in the dishwasher and the auto-pause spring mechanism came apart, with half the pieces disappearing forever down the dishwasher drain.
To me, if it's not dishwasher safe it's poorly designed. Also it looks nice on the counter and is pretty easy to use.
you can find better.
The opening to the water resevoir is beyond small. A fair amount of water always leaks out when trying to fill it. Mine also had a funny smell to it for a week or two. Also, the pot leaks when you poor coffee into a mug.
As i was unpacking the unit I pulled a carton on a front and carafe apparently was attached to it. So i called customer service to order a replacement. so it fell on the floor and was gone. Ok, maybe poor packaging, maybe my fault. they told me the replacement is NO LONGER AVAILABLE, carafe is not universal and my only choice is to buy a new unit. great.
