I sent this back before i pluged it in. who cares if it makes good coffee if the is no bucket to fill up water at the sink. You have to put the machine unter the tap or have a spare bucket. The coffee cone is under a fixed water return making it reaaly hard to fill,empty and clean. And no stainless steel cone, and it is not a standard size cone so you hunt down filters or cut them. This is much to incovienent to use every day. Clearly the designer never used this.
