I've had this coffee maker now for over one year and I'm writing this after yet another destroyed pot of coffee.Here's the short of it. The coffee filter will fold over while brewing, causing most of the water to bypass coffee and pour into pot along with a bunch of grounds.Plus there lots of little things wrong with it that make you wonder about the quality, like the notice system that beeps when the pot is done brewing. It sometimes works, sometimes doesn't, sometimes just beeps randomly.Also the level that stops the coffee from brewing into the pot (so you can take an early cup) works less than half the time.It's basically a poorly designed piece of junk.
