I have only had this coffee maker a few days and I like how it works. It really does not drip when pouring. It has the three-prong plug in, auto shut off, and I have had no problems so far. The only thing I would like to point out is the color. I looked at several different web pictures of the Intrigue Blue color and none of them was a very good representation of the real color. I can best describe it as the "country blue from the 1980's." I know this color well because I had it in my kitchen back then. So I was disappointed in the color. I thought it looked like a brighter bolder shade of blue in the pictures than it really is. This looks to be a really well made coffeemaker and the warranty is for 3 years!!

To say that am I picky when it comes to coffee makers is an understatement. I finally settled on this one after looking at them all!!
Pros:
Dripless. Unbelievable! No matter how fast you pour it won't spill. It makes it very easy to fill the resevior in the back with no mess (and we have limited counter space).
Cone filters - Prefer the taste over basket shaped ones.
User interface - Very intuitive!!! If you want to change the time, just press hour. So many others require you to hold down a combination of buttons, etc. This is the easiest system I have ever seen.
Material - Solid! Metal machine is very sturdy.
Cons:
No variable heat - We thought this would be a minor inconvenience, but the pad keeps the coffee perfect for us so it is not an issue.
No variable flavor - Again, we thought it might be an issue, but this makes great deep rich coffee (adjust strength by quantity of grounds.)
Residual liquid in carafe - Yes, the design keeps about 1-2 tbsps of coffee/water after you pour everything out. We just hold it over the sink and turn it upside down. Very minor inconvenience.
Overall a great coffee machine!
Easy to use and makes great coffee too!

This is a GREAT coffee maker! The coffee does brew a little faster than our old one & the timer works great...although another reviewer said that the timer clears out after each brew but we haven't found that to be true. It saves the time you programmed last as long as you keep it plugged in, which we do since it gets used everyday. The coffee tastes great, it looks good on my counter and the water fill lines are easy to read. The carafe is large with a great easy-to-grip handle. The only drawback is that the way the carafe is designed, it's hard to get the last bit of coffee out (just a couple tablespoons), although, if you turn the carafe upside down all the way, it does come out...it's just not convenient. Other than that (which I am willing to overlook for all the other "pluses"), I love this coffeemaker! It's also really easy to clean!
