Otherwise I'm very pleased with design, removable water reservoir, and coffee grind basket that is easy to fill and discard grounds.

The coffee grinds are easy to dump out afterwards because it's removable as well.pros:-NICE design-metal carafe keeps coffee warm-countdown on digital clock shows how long coffee had been brewed-removable filter bin and water container are nice

The filter is poorly designed and coffee grinds get all over water purifier requiring additional items to wash daily and reducing the need for the cholrinator/purifier

So I decided to just use water with no coffee grinds and it leaked again

the removable water reservoir for easy cleaning and filling.-the whole unit looks sleek and stylish on my countertop.-like the removable brew basket for avoidable coffee ground mishaps.-thermal pot keeps coffee hot and has a push button for dispensing.-even after doing the recommended initial water-only cycles, first few pots of coffee tasted like scorched plastic

Coffee ground container needs re-engineering.

It does have this filters which go on top of the bin where the coffee grinds go.

The removable coffee ground canister is easy to pull out and empty and replace

After the first brew, I noticed a large amount of coffee ground arounds the top the filter in the basket.

Brews so fast that half of the coffee grinds don't even get wet(see pic)

Remove the unit that holds the coffee grinds, Remove the carafe, gently move the plastic rod that the carafe pushes when u place it on the machine, look inside the opening where the coffee loader goes, You will see a nipple moving, it’s attached to the rod you’re pushing.

I've tried different coffee grinds, filtered water, paper filters (differing brands), reusable filters, etc.

But beware that if you don't place the coffee ground holder 100 percent pushed all the way in or if the pot isn't placed

Had to get used to this new machine, Makes the coffee quicker and adding the coffee grinds and water is much easier.

A single stray coffee ground can ruin your morning.

Not only does the coffee spill all over your counter you find coffee grind in the pot, in the machine, in the counter, and all around

matter what kind of filter we used or coffee grind or cleaning the basket and filter before use, it leaked, especially if we wanted a full pot

The recommendation to make a small indent, volcano shape in the coffee grinds did help.

but I do have an issue where if you make 10 cups, the coffee grinds are in the coffee

Our very basic Mr. C died the other day after eight years and I knew I wanted to stick with them

The hottest I was able to get out of room temperature water (~76°f) was 175°f, well below the billed brewing temperature.

I use 35g of whole bean Colombian and grind on the fine setting for 20 secs to make a consistently brewed masterpiece

Stopped working g after 2 days

Finally, a full bodied cup of coffee - but - it was older and wasn't keeping the coffee as hot as I liked
