I really wanted to love this pot, because of its looks and the fact that it did brew really good coffee. But it had annoying issues I could not get over. The carafe is designed like a dribble glass. Nomatter how careful we were, we could not pour from a full carafe or an almost empty carafe without spilling. Second, while using coffee ground specifically for an electric drop pot, we found that the machine consistently made a mess when brewing a full pot - the grounds would overflow the basket & be pushed up through the steam vents on the top of the machine. Also the machine I received did not support the advertised 2 automatic settings feature, even though the Krups box listed this as well as the Amazon add. The manual did not list this feature and the simple and intuitive programming menu didn’t allow setting more than one start time.
I was grateful for Amazon’s return policy, which made it easy to send this disappointing machine back.

After having this product for 1.5 months I have dealt with the leaky pouring and it is bad as the other post mentions. I called Krups and they told me to pour slower and even doing that it still leaks. The unit has a tank on the back that is removable so you can take that to the tap and put your water in. The other week it began a steady drip of water which my solution was to put my finger over it when I carry it over from sink to coffee maker. That has turned into a full on pool of water under my coffee maker. It is pouring out water in the back on the machine. I now have to send it to Krups for repairs and it takes 3 weeks. This unit costs too much money to have basic issues as I am having.
