I got this over the standard Coffee Maker because of its feature which stops the brewing process so you can pour your cup, and resume afterwards. All fine and dandy until the steaming water starting pouring out of the top and nothing actually fell into the pouring pot. Figured out that the issue is literally the feature I bought it for. The lever which allows you to start/stop the brewing no longer held the seal open for the water to call into the canteen (or whatever its called that catches the coffee). If you buy.... set up the warranty DAY 1
