This coffee maker is very messy. The Sneak-A-Cup feature doesn't work and constantly leaks coffee on the burner. Try to catch it with a paper towel and you get burned. When you lift the lid, there is so much water on the top, and it drips down the back of the coffee maker and all over the counter. I'm sorry I've purchased this product, it is a hassle. I'm so frustrated with it I had to post this. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
