Does NOT pour well. This is marketed as having a Pour Perfect Carafe but, this pot does not only not pour perfect, it does not even pour well. Whether you are pouring a cup of coffee of filling the machine with water there is constant run-off from the spout, messing up your cabinet top or table top every time you use it. I have had numerous family and friends try to pour from this pot to see if they could do it without the run-off from the pot. No one can. I would not buy again and believe I should receive a replacement pot but have had no luck in getting this done. Other than the pouring the pot, the machine is very good although a little slow. It brews good coffee, keeps it warm, and looks nice. The programmable features work well as does the "sneak a cup" feature and the 2 hr. auto turn off.
