I’ve had this machine for about 2 years now and I love the coffee that it makes. I also love the thermal caraffe — I can brew coffee in the morning, pour a few cups and then come home from work in the evening and it’s still hot enough to drink.

Two BIG problems/drawbacks, though: (1) It’s a bitch to clean. As the review says, you need to clean 7 different parts EACH TIME you brew coffee… that’s a huge pain in the ass. (2) Overflow: it’s overflowed three times since I’ve gotten it. Each time, it makes a HUGE mess and has permanently ruined my basement ceiling below because so much coffee-water got dumped onto the floor. It’s not because I haven’t cleaned it (I clean it each and every time I use it; not an easy task.) I think the latch on the basket door randomly comes loose and that’s what makes it overflow.

I have had 2 of these coffee makers and both of them after about a year started shutting off automatically before the full pot was brewed completely. I will never buy another one!

Wow… I’m suprised by you review… our coffee maker so far (knock on wood) has been great for us! it makes great tasting coffee and little to no mess… worst part is slow poor, though you can always open the lid all the way for faster brew… as far as cleanup, this is our first built in grinder unit, but cleanup only takes a few minutes… honestly it’s not that bad to us… maybe we just don’t know how good we could be having it with other machines… the coffee is the best we’ve tasted too… Maybe we just got a good machine? we bought it as a referb and got it for about $60 or so and another $4 or so for the gold basket…. maybe the referb had all the kinks worked out? We also only make about 5 or so cups at a time, so maybe we haven’t given the unit ample opportunity to overflow like the reviewer experienced… to us it’s a great machine…. again, except for the slow poor and I forgot to add, the inability to see water flow from outside the unit like our old Mr. Coffee had…

hi i make my mom coffee all the time and we have this exact coffee maker but the first time we bought one of these it broke bc it overflowed with all the time and when we cleaned it out with vinger is got worse. i know its probably like clogged with coffee grinds somewehere. I want to know how to perfectly clean through.
