Where the top plastic meets carafe, water will condense/leak, and come out as you pour
The water gets very hot which is needed to make good coffee
carafe does not keep coffee hot even after putting hot water in carafe before brewing.
The water is hard to pour into the reservoir without also spilling into the beans or on the counter.
While I pour water from the carafe into the reservoir, water often leaks from the carafe and finds its way down through the filter and onto the hot plate
Love the 5 beeps when it's finished brewing and the two beeps when it turns itself off!
However the carafe was problematic for me: messy inconsistent pour, coffee not hot enough/long enough, you can't see what's left in the pot and the brew completion audible beeps that seem to annoy many others who reviewed it didn't even work for me
There is a great signal - beeps a few times - when the coffee is ready, so you don't have to 'hover'.
I think the last thing any true coffee reliant person wants to hear in the morning is a loud beep.
The only annoying things about this machine are: 1)The loud beeping it makes when the cycle is
The stupid drip mechanism (bottom of basket and cap on carafe) is so over-engineered that it constantly fails.
There is an uncontrolled dripping and drippling with this carafe.
I like my coffee piping hot, this does not cut it.
I've had this for over a week and still haven't experienced the annoying drips when pouring
French press coffee, as well as coffee dripped through a gold filter, tend to raise LDL cholesterol levels due to the presence of a fat-rich oily substance--cafestol--on the surface of the coffee
It literally made a noise like it blew up, and just stopped working
Top broke and o was happy as
But, if you're sensitive to loud noises, you should consider a different one
So when I heard the coffee pot making strange noises at the end of a brew cycle I ran in and unplugged the machine
I love the sound of the fan/air conditioner, so I usually am not sensitive to sound, but this pot makes this shrill beeping noise which is like murder in the morning
The pot leaks a bit with is the only thing that doesn't function as advertised
Many times, the top can be off just a bit and this can cause problems
The water reservoir is a bit difficult to pour into because of the small space plus the terrible pour of the pot itself, water CONSTANTLY goes everywhere when pouring with the pot and i'm not saying i'm bad at pouring water from a carafe
Perhaps the only little flows are not having the water level on both sides and pouring the water is a bit difficult, since the two entry points are on the back and the lid is in the way.
manuals)- The hole for pouring in the water is a bit hard to reach and takes some getting used
Came back downstairs a hour later to a horrific and toxic burnt plastic smell
Then, once coffee is brewed, if I don't wait for each and every drop to make its way into the carafe before removing it, coffee WILL drip onto the hot plate, causing that nasty burnt coffee smell and crackling sound
l love it.
l love it.
I unplugged it and brought it outside, but it still managed to leave a nasty electrical fire smell in my house.
Overall not a bad coffee maker, but has some significant design flaws
There is a factory design flaw, and it isn't long after using the maker that the coffee pot will start leaking when you pour water into the maker, or coffee into a cup
There is no reason I can think of for such a design flaw these days
It seems there is a terrible design flaw, as even a brand new model had the same problem we had experienced with our older coffee maker
The design flaws of this coffee maker are unconscionable
Not 5 stars because pouring in the water is difficult and the totally disconnected top to the pot is a hassle.

Only negative is it is a little awkward pouring the water in and if you are brewing less than a full pot, it's a little difficult to know how much water to fill the carafe as it does not have measurement lines on the carafe itself.
The lid is awkward to remove, and it's not an easy pour
