Overall, I like this coffee maker except that it has a tendency to leak a bit of water into the carafe (bypassing the coffee-filled basket) and also out of the bottom of the machine before I turn it on.  Maybe it is just because it's still new and not really broken-in yet, or maybe it is just user error.  In any case, it is just the right size for my small apartment and for the 2/daily mugs of coffee I drink each day.
