Allows for up to 14 tablespoons in a 12 cup pot which is more than enough in my opinion. Looks sharp. Easy to clean.

Pot is cheap and looks like it could break if cold water rinsed it out when hot.

Hopped on NewEgg to buy a replacement carafe (I dropped mine >.< ) and figured I'd update my old review. Sorry some people had problems with this unit but 3 years later, mine still works! I even had a mishap with the dishwasher and melted a few...

None, I'm pretty happy with it.

Grinds and Brews Looks nice

Well, 7 months later (not even) it stopped functioning properly. After it grinds it just stops and doesn't work anymore. Don't buy this. I didn't expect a product to work for only a couple of months. Waste of a $100.

+It grinds and brews +Looks elegant +Like the color scheme

-Too many parts to clean -Feels a little "cheap"

*Affordable, yet sturdy. *Grinds beans perfectly every time *Lots of internal features it ensure you get a great cup of coffee

Too many parts to clean after brewing. Difficult to fill with water without spilling some. Filter basket is a little small and sometimes grounds overflow the top and into the coffee. Also, removing the pot while brewing will make the small filter...

have had this model for almost three years now and its the best, longest lasting coffee maker I have ever had. I highly recommend this unit to anyone who drinks ground coffee.

After brewing four (sometimes 5 or 6 ) pots every day for almost three years I can see wear and some discoloration on the base. I also see that there is a small crack forming on the rim of the warmer plat, but after this many uses I think this is to be...

when it works is the best but only has a life of a year to a year and a hallf

after about 18 months (have had 3) an internal spring breaks and the filter door opens and water and coffee spill all over....
