1st one had to be replaced ( by B&D ) because the unit kept powering off as if the brew cycle was complete. The only way to get a complete pot was to stand next to the unit and keep pressing the power button back on until cycle was complete. Replacement unit worked fine for a few weeks and now the new one is starting to do the same thing. Maybe you get half a pot. Maybe you get just a little. Please contact me re: a 2nd replacement unit and possibly switching to a different, none electronic model.
