This is my 2rd replacement in over 14+ years of service. This is by far, THE best coffee pot I've ever owned! We use it a LOT, which is why I'm replacing it once again. We LOVE the fact that we don't have a carafe' to break! The only change that I'm making is it that I will only be using the filtered water out of our refrigerator, as we have very high minerals in our tap water. I hoping that this change will make this new machine last longer.  I kept getting a "Clean" indicator, even though I had just run vinegar through it. After a few months of continuous cleaning, I decided to start with a new pot. It is really just our high mineral content that is causing me to by a new one.
