For 20+ years I have used Mr Coffee 12cup switch coffee makers.  They usually last 1-2 years with regular cleaning.  The design and quality of this model are not good for the following reasons.
1-The fill line window starts at 6cups, therefore, unable to make less than 6 cups accurately. The fill line window is only on one side of the coffeemaker.
2-cheap quality plastic of entire machine. The connection from lid to spout has already snapped after average use for a few weeks
3-The coffee does not drain fast enough if making 8 or more cups. The coffee and grounds spill over the filter and into the coffee. This may be related to the off set drain opening and new overall design,
4-The lid cannot be removed from the carafe for easier cleaning.

I usually give this same coffeemaker to my kids as they leave home. I will no longer give this coffeemaker.  Looking for a new brand.
