Title: Looks alone won't cut it with me...
Product review: This is a stylish looking coffeemaker and it has all the features expected in a premium product of this sort. However, it is a VERY flawed design. The carafe is "guaranteed to drip" on counters; it is difficult to fill the reservoir and it will drip down the back; the carafe must be "locked" onto the base; the "cone shaped" filter holder is actually an oval which won't accept permanent filters and does not correctly saturate the grounds and hence makes substandard brew; the clock is miniscule. Mine was white and the white plastic lid stained in a week. These are popular, but when I see them in people's kitchen's, I think "Another sucker for slick styling" that got stuck with a design lemon.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
