My 5 cup coffee maker leaks while perking. About 1/4 to 1/2 cut of water comes out from underneath.

Nice for $15

Very basic coffeemaker, but it gets the job done pretty quick thanks to an element that seems to heat up the water fast and (finally) a caraffe that doesn't spill. Makes a surprisingly good tasting cup of coffee too.
