I received this a little over a month ago as a gift and all of the sudden water is coming out of the bottom onto my counter which is disheartening because my husband and I absolutely loved this coffee maker.  I am not sure if something came loose or what.  I tried to remove the bottom but there is a rivet preventing this.   We are back to using our old coffee pot, and that is when we definitely realized the quality of the brew of this coffeemaker.  SO I would recommend because I am sure this is a an isolated incident as I do not see this occurrence in any other reviews,
