I purchased less than a year ago for my husband, he loves coffee and never had a grinder model before. It work exceptional until about a month ago where now when he turns it on to grind and brew, water comes out from the bottom of the machine and the counter gets all wet. We maintain and clean the machine before ever brew. Also, the heating plate is rusted already and we keep it dry before putting the pot on the heating plate. This was not a cheap purchase.
