In the long term, a year or less expect this coffee maker to leak....everywhere. The dial indicator will fog up and will not be able to read it. We have the red one. Looks great on the counter, but the metal will begin to rust...yes rust..and corrode around the bottom (where it meets the plastic. So off to find another one....any suggestions?Mr. Coffee blew it this time.Beautiful on the outside, but worthless on the inside.
