CR's Feedback

A number of our user reviews cited several issues including breakage, insufficiently hot coffee, a bad taste, and either overflows or leaks. A few also mentioned inconsistent portion sizes. We experienced no such issues, however, during testing. (We summarize negative experiences for high-scoring models with at least 10 user reviews.)
