I had to drop a line to warn people about this beautiful product. If the pot isn't positioned exactly right, the coffee spills over the sides and all over your counters. We have had it for years and we get it wrong at least once a month. We no longer use the grinder because it gets clogged and is very labor intensive on clean up. I love the look of it and thank goodness because otherwise it would be at the dump and I paid full price...
