While this is a decent coffee maker for the price, it lasted less than a year before I gave up on it. The carafe lid is made completely of plastic and feels flimsy. There's a button above the handle that is supposed to open the spout, but you can pour coffee with the spout closed, so it doesn't secure it in any way.
One morning, after having the coffee maker for about 6 months, it inexplicably spilled coffee all over the kitchen floor and counter. I had done nothing differently that morning. The carafe was in place with the lid on and nearly completely empty. Shortly after, little things started going wrong or not working quite right. The latch to open the front panel of the coffee maker became a bit more difficult to open. A pocket of air somehow got caught in the water measure so, after you'd filled it up to about 7 cups, the air bubble would go a small way up the measure and get stuck, making it a pain to figure out how many cups of water you'd put in. I still can't figure that one out. It was never a deal-breaker, but it was still annoying, even more annoying to deal with early in the morning. Eventually, it started spilling coffee on the floor more often and the gasket that stopped coffee from leaking out of the filter... well, stopped preventing it from leaking out of the filter.
In my mind, if there's one small appliance that you really want to be dependable, it's a coffee maker.
