Title: Great coffee, shoddy materials and poor design
Product review: This product makes great coffee but it's made of flimsy plastic, the base of which isn't strong enough to support the top-heavy machine. The simple action of placing and removing the thermal carafe strains the flimsy base; let the base rest on the cord, resulting in less-than-solid footing for the machine, and the base is guaranteed to crack in short order. Its good looks don't last long, either, because the materials are so desperately inferior. I've owned Krups coffeemakers for more than 20 years, but they've lost a loyal customer. I wouldn't buy another one these for $29.95 ... or any other price. This is junk!
