Bodum 12 Cup Programmable Coffee Maker Stainless Steel

The grounds constantly flow back into the water reservoir. I’ve tried everything from changing the grounds, to swapping the permanent filter for a paper one, to using the “aroma” button. The only way the grounds don’t back into the reservoir (which is really, really, hard to clean out) is to brew less coffee. As for the coffee, it tastes burnt. Again, this is regardless of how it’s brewed. I bought this because I wanted something simple to brew my coffee in the morning. The experience has been anything but simple. Other things of note: it takes a long time to brew, the drip stop for mid-brew pouring still drips, I have yet to get a full brew from the water I put in, and there is no beep to indicate brewing has stopped. This is not a good coffee maker.
