We're really disappointed with this coffee maker for a few reasons; 
- After a short period of use the silver coated handle started to crack & peel, it's black plastic underneath and looks ugly
- The retractable filter has clogged multiple times, meaning the water and coffee grinds have overflowed onto / down the counter
- The molded plastic at the upper front of the coffee maker isn't aligned correctly so it look cheaply made
It's really too bad because in general the reviews are positive and I really liked the look but it's not worth it. Wish I bought something else.
