Makes good coffee but a bit tall for countertops. With the lid open (to let it dry out) the upper cabinet door cannot be opened. Also, there are two separate lids, one for coffee, one for the water. That's OK but they cannot be opened at the same time to let both insides dry. The inside of the basket for the coffee filter basket has a particular slot that is not convenient; the basket cannot just be dropped in. The coffee filter basket must be positioned just right for the lid to close properly.
