The only problem I have with this coffee pot is that you constantly have to clean it! It may be that I live in the mountains and my water comes from our well, with lots build-up, but still we have a house filter and it's Colorado drinking water. So, I had to purchase cleaner, hard to find up here and don't get me started on the filter that comes with this coffee maker. Next time I'll buy a cheaper one and toss it when it gives me trouble
