After reading many positive reviews on this coffeemaker, I purchased one through amazon. I am so disappointed! First, it leaks water. Every time I use it, I have to mop up water from around the base. Second, the coffee has a bad taste if I leave the water in it overnight. I have run water through it over thirty times trying to get rid of this metallic taste and have just resorted to filling it in the morning. And thirdly, the on-off button doesn't always work properly--I have to press it multiple times to get the red and green lights to go on. One time it went on in the middle of the night even though it wasn't set for "automatic." Needless to say, I am looking for a new coffee maker after just three weeks.
