Wow, I don't know where to start on how horrible this coffee maker is. It all started on christmas 2007. My girlfriend and I received the coffee maker from her grandparents, which is horrible because I can't get rid of it.
To start with the reservoir is impossible to fill without spilling water all over the counter. The basket handle sticks out into the space where you are supposed to pour the water, after a few cleaned up messes I learned to remove the basket before I added the water.
I also had to remove the plunger (I have heard this called the "sneak a cup") at the bottom of the basket because it would not allow the coffee to exit fast enough. This caused the coffee to spill over the sides of the plastic bowl area that holds the basket and filter.
Aside from all these problems the coffee maker makes very, very weak coffee no matter how many grinds you put in.
I had to double the suggested amount just to make the coffee bearable. Lastly, when I finally have the worst cup of coffee I have to stick it in the microwave because it's barely above room temperature.
Please don't buy this coffee maker it is a waste of good money and to get a decent cup of coffee you have to waste more money using too many coffee grounds.
