Leaking and plastic expansion.
Easy to use. Good brewing quality. However, the lid leaks water down into the machine when you raise it up. The lid does not stay closed after running a cycle because the machine gets so hot the plastic expands. The water tank does not sit flush after one use. Returned.

good coffeemaker
This coffeemaker is the best one we've had in years. First off, the carafe doesn't drip all over when I pour. The coffee is very good and it's one less step having a separate water reservoir. The only minus is the beep when the coffee is done, but it's not super loud.

The coffee maker itself if very sharp looking and has features that I thought would benefit us. I’ve had to adjust how much coffee grounds I put in compared to my old coffee maker, granted it was a completely different brand and much older. We like that it’s got the delay brew and you can set a time for it to start and it came with the gold basket that doesn’t require a filter for brewing which helps save money there. It holds up to 12 cups, but you can’t run two small brews at two different times. Overall we do like the coffee maker, however we don’t like it because the gasket was leaking out of the box and water pools up in the area underneath the water container. I imagine the more this goes on the worse the leaks will be. And unfortunately this was also a Father’s Day gift for my husband, so not only did we get a dud coffee maker, but I also feel like I gave a terrible gift. I’m not sure if I even still have the receipt to return it.
