The whole unit was not stable. We had to hold on to it when w.e got coffee. Under the coffee maker was a screw that was screwed too much so it was dented. We are wondering if these makers are rejects. We liked the idea of not using a pot. We had another from the same company for about 12 years! We have doubts this one will last as long. Too bad . . . it's a great idea.

Pros: Don't need a pot; It will brew 'bold' by passing coffee through a second time
Cons: First unit not stable. Second is better.
