After about 3 months the switch started clicking inside when it wasn’t in use. At first I thought nothing of it. Then I started noticing it was hot when I went to make a pot of coffee even though I hadn’t been home all day. As time has passed (over the course of the last month) the heat (when off) has been rising. This is ironic since it wouldn’t make a “HOT” cup of coffee in the first place.
I’ve been unplugging it recently when I’m not using it to be safe while waiting for my new one to arrive (definitely not made by HB) and in the past week I’ve forgotten to unplug it twice. I’ve come home to open it to STEAM and IMMENSE heat to the tune of the used filter being black at the top from being cooked. I would definitely stay away from this lest you want a fire to erupt. Today marks the last pot of coffee I’ll have from this coffee maker.

I got the coffeemaker for christmas ‘08, it is now Jan. 09 and it will not dispense coffee with the urn thing on the maker, you have to remove it from the base and quickly place it over the cup b/c it starts pouring coffee. you don’t have to worry about getting burned b/c the coffee doesn’t stay hot in this thing anyway, so SAVE YOUR MONEY! THIS THING IS JUNK!

Mine lasted about 1 year. It worked well at first, though it does burn coffee when the tank is nearly empty. After a few months it began to leak around the base plate (very messy), and the valve began to get loose and tend to dribble all over when dispensing. (When I took it apart, I discovered the cheap plastic valve had actually broken, and the insides of the valve assembly were quite unsanitary — strange gunk accumulated in the dispenser area, despite daily washing). This is clearly not designed for maintainability either: they do not offer replacement tanks, valves etc. and they use a mix of phillips and spanner type screws to make it intentionally difficult for DIY types to repair the seals.
The design concept is good, I just wish the manufacturing wasn’t so pathetic.
