Overall, I love this coffee brewer! It is vastly superior to my last coffee maker. It makes great coffee and I love the design. I have two concerns about the design. The lid just sits inside the pot. I worry it might pop out during pouring so I put fingers from my other hand on the lid while pouring. The other concern is when I open the lid to remove the grounds. Water drips into a little reservoir and I can’t figure out how that drains. Having said all that, this coffee brewer makes excellent coffee and I would buy it again.
