Simple Little Machine, April 2, 2008 I bought this coffee maker because "America's Test Kitchen" gave it high reviews and it was in my low price range. I'm glad I listened to ATK and not other Target Reviews.
As I looked up all the different coffee makers on this target.com, so many of them had terrible ratings and I kept hearing the same complaints - makes a terrible cup of coffee and if you don't put the carafe in all the way it leaks. These are problems caused by human error, not the machine.
I've had this machine for two months now and I've never had it leak because I am careful to place the carafe it the correct position before brewing. It took my husband and I about three tries to figure out the right amount of coffee for our liking. That would have happened with any machine.
The auto-program feature, the reason I upgraded from my trusty 15 year old Mr. Coffee, is very easy to set and hasn't let me down. The automatic shut-off goes off in just the right amount of time so the bottom few cups in the pot never burn.
We did have one instance where the coffee filter bin overflowed into the water reservoir. It was so much easier to clean than when that happened to my old Mr. Coffee.
This coffee maker is simple and it does what it is supposed to. I think I got a great little machine at a great price.
