Title: Not quite there
Product review: I know Saeco from their espresso machines, which are great. But I couldn't get along with the design philosophy in this coffee maker. I was glad that there are no frivolous bells or whistles, but this train just wouldn't run on time for me.A big irk was not having a fill line indicator in the reservoir. I use the detachable faucet at my sink to put water in, and I would've had to scrawl my own line. Why?Then, this sounds petty, but the carafe poured much too slowly. It irked me that the spout was small enough that coffee seemed only to dribble out.Finally, I have our coffee maker positioned next to the sink, below some cabinets. Because opening the lid, for water & coffee, takes up a lot of real estate, I had to pull the unit forward till it was nearly off the counter.Nope. This unit is not quite there.
