Bought this for my wife as a replacement for our old red KitchenAid coffeemaker which we loved.  This new one leaked water from the base of the water reservoir. Also, if your coffee is too finely ground, it would get clogged and leak coffee everywhere and was a mess to clean the grounds from the parts inside.  Then, after only a months or so, the carafe broke while being cleaned (cheap, thin glass) and we had to buy a cheap coffeemaker because we cannot order a replacement.  Very disappointed for the money spent.
