Maker has too many issues. Grinds in coffee, coffee grinds leak into machine on top of heater, very difficult to read the reservoir markers, can't even see the digital clock, cord is too short, after brewing the maker still sounds like it's brewing, can't see the coffee mug under the filler (actually need to lean under to see),

This is my fourth replacement of this model. Unfortunately, the cover is not fitting properly, and the clean mode keeps popping on every few days. I am not sure if they are making the product cheaper but this is not what we have come to expect
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We’re sorry to hear about your repeated experience with this model and understand how frustrating this must be. The clean light may activate more frequently depending on water hardness, and ensuring the lid or cover is properly aligned and fully seated may help with fit concerns. Our team would like to review your case and provide further troubleshooting or options. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 so we can assist you directly.
This has been my favorite coffee maker for 15 years. I love that I don’t have to keep replacing glass carafes that I would always end up breaking. Also, this machine will keep your coffee piping hot. The downside is I’m currently on my third machine because the removable water tank inevitably begins to leak or the spigot where the coffee dispenses will leak coffee.
I prefer filling coffee from the machine, rather than pouring from an urn. The little light is also helpful to get the right fill level. Easy to set up, brew and clean. Timer is great too, for scheduling. I bought one for my office and then got one for home.
This is not my first purchase of this coffee maker. We have used one of these for many, many years. My only fear is that you will stop making these. It is so much easier to use, and I love being able to flip the button and have coffee in a matter of minutes, since we put the ground coffee and water in the night before. Much easier to clean, not having to wash a carafe. We love this coffee maker.
