Love it!
By D. Hamilton
Ok, ok, I have read the reviews. A friend gave me this coffee maker after she had the same experience as other reviewers. She had messes on the counter, floor, etc., and practically threw it at me. Well I've had it for a year now and it's been perfect. I have a feeling that the users who had problems didn't push the filter door in firmly enough. It has to "click" in place. The only problem I've had is that my guests drink up the coffee too fast and I end up making another pot.
As far as cleaning... most of the time I just rinse off the parts and let them dry. Every now and then I dump the parts in the dishwasher. How difficult is that? Also, since the coffee maker doesn't have a hot plate, I preheat the carafe with hot tap water.

It's not that bad...
By Kathy
Maybe we just got lucky with ours. We bought one of the reconditioned ones about a year ago. We use it nearly every day, sometimes more then once a day. I really wanted a coffee pot with a grinder built in, and one that used a metal carafe was required. I was sick of always having to clean up the grind mess on the counters from our other coffee grinders we have used in the past. I have had both the single type and the burr grinders. After time they always made a mess with spilled grinds, and my husband wasn't very good about wiping them up.
We haven't had any issues with this grinder leaking or spilling. As long as you are careful and make sure the lid is closed on the carafe, it seems to pour okay. The carafe keeps the coffee hot for a couple hours, and if I make coffee in the evening, it will still be warm in the morning. (this is not something you can say for a pot with a heating element. We stopped using those years ago b/c i couldn't stand the taste of burnt coffee, which would happen in about an hour)
This pot is nice, because it keeps the grounds from spilling on the counter, which usually happens if you have to transfer them from a grinder to a pot.
The only real issue is the cleaning (and why I didn't give it 5 stairs), the hot steam from the pot will go up into the grind mechanism, causing the dry grinds to get moist and clump together over time. You have to clean out the grinder every 2 pots or so (run under hot water, etc).
I have noticed that it stays clean longer if you open the top of the pot after brewing, and remove the clear plastic top of the grinder so the heat and moisture comes out. This will dry out the grind mechanism, which helps a lot.

good machine, negative reviews overdone
By gman1wine
i dont often add a review, but after reading all these negative reviews, i had to put in my two-cents' worth.
I've had this machine for 3 years, and another family member for 5. That itself says alot. I'm an avid coffee drinker and work the machine at least 5 days a week (once/day). So this thing is obviously pretty reliable. and i didn't read all of the reviews, but i did not have any problems with filters popping out randomly or anything else.
But when I did my own reseach on this before purchasing, I remember reading about 2 faults, which remain true:
1) the grind is a bit coarse. The only thing this affects is that you have to use a tad bit more of your coffee beans to reach the same level of coffee flavor. non-issue.
2) have quite a few pieces to clean. In fact, have 2 pieces for grinder, 3 pieces for filter/basket/lid, and 2 pieces for thermos lid/thermos. I personally think the freshness and aroma of the coffee is worth this little extra bit of cleaning, but others may differ. if it solved this problem by having less pieces, it would have gotten a 5.
Having said that, i'm off to go buy another machine for another family member.
