Admittedly, I was impressed by the low price on a classic brand name. Unfortunately, it's not so cheap as I will have to replace it. 
The basket will hold a full-sized filter, but this is a negative for me. I like a strong-brewed coffee and it runs through this pot too quickly with the oversized filter area, even with my standard 4 filters per pot. 
Worse, the coffee is not hot. It is warm, so if you have potentially litigious guests it may be useful, but I have to microwave the coffee straight from the pot to get it hot enough to consider "normal." 
Guess it was worth a shot. I'll donate it somewhere.
