I just received this and haven't tried it yet.  I was disappointed to find out that it is NOT an 8 cup coffee maker.  It's a 12 cup.  The websites lists it in four places that it is an 8 cup system.  The website lists two different measurements, neither are correct. True measurements are 14" H x 10" D x 8 1/2 " W.  Not sure if I'll keep it.
