I ordered this coffee pot based on the Krup's name and as a repeat buyer. Either they have gotten very bad at making them or Amazon got a batch of lemons! The first one the water indicator had so many air bubbles in it you could not tell how much water you put in it. I went on-line and exchanged it. The 2nd one had the same problem plus the auto shut off appeared to have shut the pot off 2 hours after brew but it really doesn't! Extreme Fire Hazard!I'm not going to blame Amazon for this one as they have never been a problem but Do not buy this!
