Detailed Commentary
This coffee maker is ok looking and easy to use. Thats about it for positive reviews. The filter is on a chintzy hinge that swings out at the touch of a button. Sometimes when I try to replace it, it jams. The coffee machine quickly brews coffee that is on the verge of lukewarm. Obviously this results in a very weak, bland cup of coffee. Another thing that bothers me is the lid of the carafe is not detachable, therefore I cant put it in the dishwasher. When I handwash it, I have to stuff paper towel into the hinge so it dries completely, otherwise the carafe is all foggy from condensation-nice brewing ground for bacteria and mold. Overall the biggest disappointment is the coffee itself. I'm going to trash it and buy a new one, after doing some more reseach on this website.
Buying Experience
Shower gift. We registered for it because my husband wanted a timer.
