Overall this is a great unit. It's not too big but has a 14 cup carafe, which is great for company. However I'm disappointed in the amount of water that collects on the lid. When you lift the lid to make coffee, water drips all over the counter. The channel to direct water is simply not well thought out. So every time I make coffee I have to wipe down the counter and the back of the unit.
I would recommend this to a friend!
