Nice coffee when it works, but yesterday, for the third time in only 4 months of use, I returned to the kitchen to a counter full of coffee. Unless you're perfect at lining up the carafe spout to the maker, and unless you're meticulous at not getting a single coffee ground down the drip mechanism to clog it up, this thing works like a brand new puppy. You need to babysit it with a wet cloth. Out she goes!
