Comment:
This would be a great coffee maker if it didn't leak all over the counter most of the time when you try to set it up for brewing later. There is no way that we can get it to hold water more than a few minutes.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Good initial quality

Comment:
I bought this to replace a basic Mr. Coffee on which the heating element finally stopped working after 5 years of daily, all day use (sometimes 20 hours/day). The machine is pleasing to the eye, brews as advertised, the coffee is delicious and stays hot in the carafe. I will update this review if there is anything new to report

Comment:
Tried to use the timed brew, but the resevoir leaks 90% of the time. Wake up to water all over. I feel the water filter should not be attached the the container that holds the grounds. Nice to have a filter, but after a while it gets tiresome to mess with. Coffee stays warm for a while, but it would be nice if there was a heater to keep the coffee warmmer. Coffe pours from slowly from the pot. I would not suggest this coffee maker to anyone.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
