After it beeps, I now know I still need to wait a few cause water is still in the basket w grinds. 
Even on a level surface, their is some water left in the clear reservoir and i have to tip the coffee make to the let for the water to go into the well.
The pitcher, while I LOVE the wide opening, easier to clean, the pitcher cannot empty the coffee fully, or when i rinse the water, there is always some liquid at the bottom. I think it's due to their being a rim on the inside that prevents ALL the liquid to empty. This is the most frustrating to me. I hate to have liquid remain and to have to put a paper towel to soak up the remaining liquid is wasteful and a pain. PLEASE reconfigure the pitcher and allow us to replace this faulty designed one. 
I love oxo products and ATK always seems to recommend most of your products. Thank you for creating quality products that are somewhat more affordable than higher end brand names.
