Makes good coffee and keeps it hot, but those qualities are overshadowed by design flaws and performance issues.

This product has many design flaws

Overall the coffee maker is fine except that one design flaw is that the unit should have either an on/off switch or some indicator that the warming plate has turned off.

The cause of this was an obvious design flaw in the valve that dispenses the coffee, and I posted an appropriate warning review here.

We really like the design of this machine and the stainless carafe there is a serious design flaw when pouring water from the carafe to fill up the machine.

Others complained about not being able to pour the water into the top, and yes it does seem to be a bit of a design flaw, if you pull the plastic pot cover off when pouring the water into the back and you hold the pot a bit higher all the water flows into the reservoir without spilling

How could an obvious design flaw make it through to a final product.

There's some design flaws with this coffee pot

The carafe has a design flaw and leaks

The thermal carafe itself has a serious design flaw that makes it impossible to pour water or coffee out of it without at least seriously dripping, and most often splattering liquid outside of the target container.

It has a design flaw

The only criticism I have is a minor design flaw with the lid to the carafe and the small reservoir opening.

LOVE the LavAzza Crema e Gusto Ground Coffee 8.80 oz (Pack of 8)

After 5-6 years of use, the coffee just wasn't as hot as I like it

I did not purchase this from Amazon (which I love) but am posting this review here, as well as on my purchase site, to warn the public.

Works as I expected.

I wish the stainless felt more substantial and that the black stainless was as dark as in the photo - I feel I paid extra for something that isn't what it is advertised to be

After each fill, it is necessary to wipe up the spilled water from the side of the unit, as well as from the counter top

Bottom line, you will be very satisfied with your first cup of coffee regarding the coffee flavor and temp, as well as the tight footprint of this maker on your counter top!

works as it should.
