While it doesn't overflow, there are coffee grinds in our coffee.

The biggest issue I have besides drinking coffee grinds in my coffee is that if I fill it to 12 cups (to the line not after it etc) put the grinds in and set the programming to run in the morning and water will leak onto my counter from underneath.

Not only that there is always coffee grinds in our coffee even with the reusable filter

If you put 1 cup of coffee grinds in it ends up overflowing into the brewed coffee, I've tried coffee filters and baskets all do the same thing if you're making 12 cups

even coffee grinds are seen at the bottom of the pot

I bought mine with the permanent coffee strainer and the coffee grinds will still seep into the coffee.

so I like it hot and fresh typically

As much as I like everything else about the machine I doubt I will purchase another one.

So far ok I set timer foru coffee not always as hot as I like

Seems it had issues, as it has been discontinued, or maybe mine was defective - as I

This B&D keeps the coffee hot over 4 hrs, not scalding hot, but a great drinkable temp.

The B&D works well, is easy, and looks good.

but I must accuse B&D of planned obselesce!

B&D recommends heating the thermal carafe with hot water just before brewing to keep the coffee hot longer

It will be a great wedding gift.

I finally got it after calling B&D to complain, they sent me a new one

I bought this brand because I had a B&D space saver coffee maker for about 15 years, that finally died.

Other than that, I am convinced that I will never buy a coffee maker with hot plate again!I almost forgot to mention that B&D has made a miraculous, scientific break through pouring spout!!

Yes, B&D gets blamed for that as well (guilt by association).
