Customers frequently mention issues with the coffee basket. Specifically, they mention that pouring a cup of coffee without spilling it all over the counter is difficult.
My husband uses this pot the majority of the time. We have the black color with glass pot. He likes the extra capacity of the "five" cup over the prior pots at "four". He likes the cone filter because the water soaks through a concentrated area of grounds giving a better brew via cone. We turn the hot plate off when we are using other appliances in the kitchen at the same time (microwave/toaster) and this is where his bug comes in. He feels the on/off light is not bright enough. It is dimmer than all of our prior pots and he has to check to see if he put the pot back on after he is done with the other appliances. My opinion is I don't like the side the light is on because it has always been on the opposite side of the pot previously and for the way our counter is configured, it is harder to see the dimmer light on the side it is on. I am nervous about the glass pot it feels thin to me but he loves it and does not want a metal pot because then he doesn't know how much coffee is left. So 5 stars from him (a rarity)!

Coffee maker is of good quality. Keeps coffee hot after brewing. Easy to clean. My problem is with carafe. You can not pour a cup out without it going all over counter. I had another brand and it did the same. It looks like they could mold a lip into the stainless steel so it would pour properly. Many others have this problem also. It looks like it would be improved on. Other than that, great. Would probably buy again but maybe one with a glass carafe.

Is a small easy to use coffeemaker, but it spills coffee all the time.
