The lid is unstable.

One to hold it down while you jerk the plastic lid up.

After 2 months of daily use with handwashing and occasionally put in dishwasher, the lid leaks every single pour

To fill the water or put in coffee, you have to jerk the lid up

If anything unusual happens, like the lid breaking off or the latch failing, or whatever, I will do an update, but so far so good.

The lid was broken and it leaks when brewing

The lid itself feels very flimsy as well.

The lid where you put the water in is a locked top and requires twisting to the unlocked position and for these arthritic hands, it is very difficult

The stainless steel carafe, lid and basket are dishwasher safe

Everything about this product is well done, from the easy to set timer and flavor settings, to the handy no-drip lid.

I suspect the seal on the carafe lid was too stiff (being brand new) and that the seal wasn't fully open despite the correct setup, causing the coffee to spill over the lid rather than entering it.3) if the carafe is not precisely in place under the basket, it may be possible for the valve in the lid to not be triggered, causing the coffee to spill over the lid rather than entering it

I believe the culprit is the lid to the carafe and the basket itself

The plastic tab that holds the lid down broke when I closed it

A partial solution we found was taking the lid off and shaking it in the sink to get the excess liquid out

Lid broke off the unit in the back after just a few months

The lid traps the water.

The biggest design flaw with this coffee maker is the carafe lid

But the lid leaks like crazy.

Additionally, there is no good way to clean the lid

If you open water fill lid the basket floats up and helps to keep coffee thermal carafe shut instead of pushing down when lid id closed and cooling off carafe faster.

But the lid leaks like crazy.

The lid of the carafe is difficult to take on and off.

Leaks around supposedly sealed lid while pouring

Lid leaks each time you pour, and it shuts off before the cycle has completed, all within 6 months of purchasing.

Large open lid makes cleaning the carrafe easy.

The original one was great, until my husband took the lid apart and messed up the seals in it

I like the pot but think l got a lemon.

its great i bought one for my daughter too

Love how it keeps coffee warm i also like how it show me how long ago it was made.

The carafe works great to keep coffee warm but that's about the only positive I have for this pot right now.

As I like lots of milk in mine, I never though much of it but being now that it doesn't work and someone else had a scorched counter from

Wasn't crazy about getting a "programmable" maker (as I don't use this feature EVER), but figured since it was B&D would be better than the others

At least I can use the carafe for pour-over until I get a replacement (definitely NOT another inexpensive B&D).
