Great coffee maker. Very easy to use but don’t forget to put the top on the decanter. It will make a big mess if you don’t have it on. Easy to program and great tasting coffee.
Love the coffee — makes it, and keeps it hotter than my previous maker (another brand)! Works great, but the beeping noise drives me (and especially my cat) crazy. It would be nice if there was an option to silence it, or at least reduce the volume. Also, it's a little hard to find the best way to fill the reservoir (probably because of the opened lid position). I'm using the Bar Rescue "long pour" method. The carafe is easy to clean due to the wide mouth. Because of this, the detachable lid doesn't bother me.
This coffee maker has a serious design flaw - as does your other coffee makers. After the coffee is made and the lid is lifted to remove the filter, condensation drips down the back of the unit forming a puddle of water on the counter top, The rim of the carafe also retasins water when cleaning and drips inside and outside after cleaning. Everything about this is wet!
