A couple of irritating defects….The coffee pot lid will not seat properly without a LOT of work to do it. The permentant filter basket will not go into place with out making sure to push it way down, so sometimes while brewing the basket is not right and brewing stops and can make a mess by overflowing. Have to be really careful when putting in filter. Shouldn’t be that hard. The coffee is good when it works right.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I like this model and had one for several years before I replaced it with this one, but after only a couple of months the clock is not keeping the correct time which renders the automatic brew feature unusable. As it is plugged in to a GFCI outlet, I believe it is a malfunction in the machine rather than something caused by an electrical event.
