We've had this coffee maker for many months now and it makes great coffee!  It's fast and beautiful to look at on our counter.

Our big issue is the carafe.  It seems to be over designed and under built.  Liquid gets under the plastic part at the top somehow and we can't figure out how to get it out.  Liquid also gets inside the lid and won't come out.  Not sure if it's water or coffee in either case.  We're on our second carafe and the same problems are happening.  Our first carafe also started to lose paint on the plastic piece of the handle.  We never put any of it in the dishwasher.  We only hand wash the parts and never leave them submerged in water when washing.

At this point if it was possible we'd be returning it.  Shoulda saved our money and went with the espresso maker i wanted.
