Overall does the job but reason I bought it was to keep coffee hot and only does that marginally. Still have to microwave coffee if wait more than 5 minutes to get coffee. Lid on carafe has an odd fit. Paper filters don’t fit smoothly so sometimes get water bypass. I bought a gold cone #4 to use instead of paper but standard size is too big. At first, there were times the coffee did not descend into pot because trigger at end of cone did not release, but it may have been me getting used to the odd fit of pot lid. Has not happened in a while.
