Makes excellent coffee and tea, both hot and cold. LEAKS LIKE A SEIVE ALL OVER THE COUNTER, though. :/ This seems to be because of a poor seal between the water reservoir and the rest of the unit; it's fine if you fill it and then use it immediately, but if you want to set it to brew in the morning and leave it overnight, or if you even leave the reservoir with water in it that it didn't use to brew, it'll leak.
