Thank you AMAZON for having this review feature. Thank you to all who bought this coffee maker and took the time to review it. I feel you have all saved me from spending alot of time and trouble and heartache regarding this coffee pot. I saw it in a JC Penney catalog and started researching where else I could buy it. Love the concept, but after reading the reviews here I'm going to pass on it. Will wait for something better to come along.
