I received this for my birthday and have made a variety of pot sizes from 4 cups to 10 cups.  I use the scoop provided and level off each scoop.  And then upon lifting the shower head lid after brewing, you are greeted with a mess.  Grounds everywhere, even sprayed out of the basket, even when I only make 5 cups using 5 level scoops.  So while I love the look, love laying in bed and pressing the Brew button, love the taste of the coffee, I really don’t love trying to clean it everyday.  I just can’t believe my husband payed this much and then I have to clean up the mess everyday.
