I purchased this beautiful coffee pot in January 2021.  Love the coffee maker, smart features, and the design is beautiful. I take exceptional care of the pot and noticed that the flat black finish is starting to come off where you push in and remove the pot from the holder. Given the pot is less than 1 year old and how much I paid for this coffee maker, I'm very unhappy with the finish quality. I'm awaiting resolution on my warranty options and will update this review if properly resolved to my satisfaction to a higher overall rating.
