My only complaint is that the water seems to flow much faster into the filter area than it flows out into the decanter causing coffee grounds to float up over the top of the filter and get into the decanter.
This is my 3rd coffee maker. I give my old ones to my family. I love the new color. As with any coffee maker the heating plate, it will rust. You just have to keep in mind to make sure no moisture stays on the plate. Everything else about the coffee pot works great.
Returned the coffee maker after one use. I put 14 cups of water in and barely got 5 cups of coffee. It took forever to make and it spilt water everywhere.The coffee I did get was weak and undrinkable.
