If you fill this coffee maker up with water the night before, you just might wake up to water water all over your counters and running down your cupboards. Thats what happened to us the first night. Second night we placed a pan underneath it because we thought maybe we just didnt have it assembled or situated just right & the same thing happened again.
Sending back asap!  The plastic parts are also made of very cheap pliable feeling plastic! Dont waste your money!
