I have had my coffee maker for about a year and a half. It works great except that I still haven’t figured out how to set the timer accurately. I use a paper filter in the basket and everything works quite well. I ran vinegar water thru it once because my water has mineral issues, but so far, it’s working beautifully. Can anybody tell me how to set the timer (can’t find my manual)? I thought I set it last night but when I woke up, it had brewed and cooled completely and I never heard it brewing. No clue!! It doesn’t overheat the coffee so it never gets that ‘burned’ taste that so many do when they sit too long. Turns off on it’s own after 2 hours if you don’t do it manually. Love it!!

How hot does the coffee brew?

I am very disappointed in this coffee maker. We too purchased it after all the rave reviews in Consumer Reports. We’ve had it for about 6 months, and while it does make a good cup of coffee, the warming plate started rusting within the first month. And the worst thing about the coffee pot is that if the glass carafe is precisely, and I mean precisely lined up, the water will run down around the outsides of the carafe and overfill inside the filter basket making a HUGE mess everywhere. Maybe we just got a lemon?

I have had mine for several weeks now and the water doesn’t seem to go all the way thru the grounds…….when I take out the filter, it makes a mess. And yes, it does occasionally drip when I take the pot off of the heating element.

I bought my Michael Graves coffee pot about a year ago after the rave reviews from Consumer Reports and they have never steered me wrong. This is by far the best coffee pot I have ever used. The coffee is extremely hot when it’s done brewing and doesn’t taste like hot water has been poured over one bean of coffee like some coffee makers I have had. Great product!!!!!

After good reviews from Consumer Reports, I purchased this machine. Used it three times and returned it. It leaked water on the counter top, didn’t keep coffee hot and I had to use the flavor button, plus twice the amount of coffee grounds that I use with current coffee maker to get a reasonably strong cup of coffee. Cord is too short and it is difficult to pour the last bit of coffee from pot due to the way it is designed. And if you try to get a cup of coffee before it is through brewing, it leaks coffee onto the warming pad. The Braun coffee pot I currently have is a much superior coffee maker that costs less. Would not recommend purchase of this machine.

I use white vinigar to clean my coffeemakers. And to clean lime. Just as effective, less dangerous than CLR

I love my Michael Graves coffee maker except for one thing. As the water container is almost empty the container starts steaming excessively at the top. I have to pull it out from underneath my cabinets because it is going to totally rot the wood eventually if I don’t. Has anyone else had this problem”??

I just bought this coffeemaker but it didn’t come with the filter that I believe (from the manual) is supposed to be in the water container. I can’t seem to find out how to obtain this filter. Please help!

I have been somewhat disappointed with this coffee maker. It drips when the pot is removed to fill a cup and then leaks excessively when the filter basket is removed. I have not been impressed at all.

can this coffee maker be cleaned with CLR? That is calcium, lime and rust., for those who live in areas with high mineral content in their water.

I’d like to know if you ever found the coffeemaker in white. Amazon only shows it in black, and so far can’t find it in white anywhere…
