The coffee maker arrived promptly and in good condition.  It works as promised (so far).  The directions were a bit sparse.  The filter basket (not the gold filter) cannot be removed or replaced with the handle in the folded down position.  The first time I washed it in the upper dishwasher rack (as directed) I tried to replace it with the handle down and it wouldn't seat.  I thought I had warped it.  You need to be holding it by the handle, set it in place, then fold the handle down.  A mention in the instructions would have saved me a few minutes of angst.
