After reading other purchasers' reviews of the this coffeemaker, I almost did not buy it. The most common complaint was that coffee leaked out from the sides of the spout when pouring. I took a chance and bought the coffeemaker anyway. As it turns out, there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the top, or spout. When you put the top on it is supposed to "snap" in place. When you put it together properly, it works perfectly. Most important of all, it makes a great cup of coffee!

I bought this little guy for work, and, though it swiftly brews wonderful-smelling coffee, the flavor is just plain off. I don't know if it's the steel carafe (I've used only glass carafes before) or if there's something screwy with the way the coffee brews, but the flavor is flat out disappointing. Someone suggested in another review that the coffee's flavor has a plastic tinge, and it may be that, I guess. Coffee reacting with something else. Chemical. Unpleasant. I'm buying a replacement. Oh, and the lid leaks! Hold the carafe and your cup over the sink or a garbage can so you don't dribble coffee on your carpet or toes.

An unbreakable metal pot, and pink! Makes it perfect for me, plus it works great!

I've had this coffee maker for a few months now to use at my desk at work. As with everyone else, I suffered from the dreaded coffee spillage issue, where it would run down the side of the carafe as you pour and get all over my desk. I found a solution though - when you pour, rest the spout of the carafe over the lip of your cup (and don't pour too fast). If you do this, any dribbles that cling to the underside of the spout will run down the inside of your cup instead of down the side of the carafe. If the spout is in mid-air, I 100% of the time would get spillage. As long as the spout is resting and hanging over the edge of the lip, I get 0% spillage.
So that fixes my #1 peeve with this thing. My other peeve, is that it's kind of noisy. If don't use the entire carafe up in your cup and let it stay on the hot plate, the thing makes all sorts of steamy gurgly noises, so I usually just shut it off after I pour my first cup. Even though the carafe isn't insulated, it seems it stays hot enough so that when I freshen up my cup its still hot enough to enjoy. I drink my coffee pretty quickly though.

After reading so many complaints and negative reviews about this product, I was skeptical but attracted to its features so decided to risk the purchase. Well, it's been almost 4 months since I've owned it and I use it daily to make only one or up-to-4 cups. I also use it to brew tea and prepare water for hot cereal. It's easy to use, sleek, stylish, lightweight and takes up very little space on my countertop. I haven't had any issues with pouring, filling or removing/securing the lid and I like the 30-minute auto-shut off feature. This machine makes great coffee hot and fast but unlike a glass container, the steel prevents me from SEEING what's inside the pot. However, I can tell when the coffee is ready when I no longer hear it steaming the water. Also, the inside of the steel carafe has become discolored from use. All-in-all, I LOVE this coffeemaker and highly recommend it. However, I also purchased the gold-toned permanent filter to use with it but found it too stains easily plus retains the smell of the coffee no matter how many times I've washed it so I went back to using the paper filters.
