I bought this coffeemaker to replace a reliable Black & Decker coffeemaker that I had for about 10 years (still was in good condition just figured is was time for an upgrade).  About a week ago when I would go to make a pot of coffee I noticed shortly after I would turn it on that it would beep that it was done. Thought nothing of it since it still brewed my pot of coffee.  Then it happened. No sooner I would turn it on it would immediately beep and would no longer brew.  Engineering at its finest.  Design a unit that is no longer reliable so the consumer can continually buy new products.
