The carafe leaks where the black plastic meets the stainless steel. That is frustrating. In order to get all of the coffee out, you have to practically turn the coffee pot upside down. Even then, there is still coffee wasted. 

It is also very tedious to clean. You have to take out the bean grinder portion every time. You must have a brush with a handle to clean the inside of the carafe. Your hand and a sponge will not fit in there. 

A little disappointed, but I love coffee so..... it's worth it.
