This coffee maker is well designed and mostly functions as it should.
We like the cleanable filter. We don't have to buy paper filters that get used once then spend years in a garbage dump.
However, the carafe spout is poorly designed. If you do not pour carefully, it is easy for the water or coffee to dribble over the corner of the spout and run down the side of the carafe. Please discontinue this carafe design and offer a better one.
