I bought this coffee maker thinking it had great features & was a good price. I brewed 1 pot, ONE, & that was it! It would no longer work. I went to brew another pot the 2nd day I had it, came back 30mins later & nothing. I'm beyond disappointed. I don't have a lot of time to deal w issues like this as I have a very busy life. Now I have to return it to the store & take more time to find a better, more efficient, reliable coffee maker. It seems from the reviews, this maker isn't worth the headache. I should've done my homework. I'm not sure I'll be buying another B & D product ever again. Very disappointed.
