I would give this coffee maker a 5/5 easily if it wasn't for the fact that I have to constantly monitor whether the thing is actually on. I push the brew button...it brews 1cup, turns off and we repeat the cycle 6 more times. It becomes a very damp tasting batch with over extracted beans by the sixth click. I plan to replace soon and have always had BD makers and am questioning if I will continue patronizing your products.
