Great coffeemaker

I just purchased this unit for about 60 bucks to replace a white Kitchenaid unit that burned out.Since the white unit developed a lot of permanent stains I got a black one,problem solved. O.K. here is what is good about this coffeemaker.IT MAKES GREAT FULL BODIED COFFEE.Programing the features was easy for me, a guy that can't navigate the menu of my phones.I like the fact that I can program my own shutoff duration.The coffee comes out very hot but not scalding. It also stays hot without tasting bitter.This is the first coffeemaker I have owned that the brew interupt feature works without dripping.This is due to a very strong spring on the basket but more on this later. It is also the first unit I have had that does not get coffee spooge all over the water spout and other parts.But in truth I rarely make more than 8 cups at a time. Lastly the carafe does not drip when you pour. Now for my complaints. Due to the afore mentioned spring you need two hands to remove and replace the carafe. Big deal. The reservoir is a little hard to fill due to a small opening.Also to get the last ounce of water out of the carafe you must turn it almost compleatly over.Dropping the basket in the unit is a little confusing the first few times. This unit is not for people with certain handicaps.Please keep in mind that this unit is only a week old as of this writing. However at this time I will say that this is the best coffeemaker I have ever owned.I expect that the brew interupt will fail eventualy,But I hardly ever use it so no prob.for me. The over all construction appears to be very solid so maybe this one will last more than the usual 2-1/2 years of it predecessors.
Makes great coffee, design could be better

This is the best coffee maker I have ever owned. It brews very fast and makes great coffee. It could, however, use some design improvements. The pot is difficult to get on and off the burner because of the spring mechanism above the pot. Also, the spout under the water reservoir lid get lots of coffee grounds splashed back on it, so you have to clean it frequently. But all I care about is fast, hot coffee; Therefore, I'm completely satisfied!
LOVE My RED Coffeemaker!

This Red Coffeemaker Makes My Morning! It came with "bells and whistles" I hadn't been looking for (such as two programable timers-turning it on and when to turn it off) but I wanted the RED so I paid more than I would have for a B/W one and am very pleased. The timers work perfectly and the thing "dings" 5 times when the coffee is done and twice when it turns off four hours later (my setting). It brews quickly and doesn't drip when I remove the coffee pot before it's done. I'm not sure why the lid on the coffee pot snaps on and off-I'd prefer a regular hinge-but to get a generous 12 CUPS and smile at the bright color on my counter is worth the tiny hassle. The 3YEAR WARRANTY is a great thing too!
