I have always bought Mr.Coffee coffee makers and have always been satisfied with them. I just bought this one, it works fine but the design really sucks. 1st, the fill lid opens from the side, right to left. Big inconvenience for me, I’m left handed. 2nd, when the lid is open it is between my sink and the coffee maker, I don’t have the counter space to put it anywhere else. If I would have noticed this before I bought it, I would have left it on the shelf. 3rd, the viewing window isn’t that easy to read. Whoever designed this isn’t very good at designing. As soon as I find one that works for me, I’ll throw this pile in the garbage.
