Title: Possible Mold Hazzard
Product review: I bought the highly rated and lovely Michael Graves coffeemaker. As soon as I started using it I became aware of a serious design oversight. The flip up lid above the coffee basket has a lower surface with a number of holes in it to distribute the water evenly to the coffee in the basket. When you have finished brewing, you can remove the coffee pot and wash and dry it. you can remove the basket and with great difficulty can dry it although the deeply ribbed interior holds water that won't evaporate and it takes a lot of effort to get the water out. But there is no way to get the water out of the sealed compartment above the filter basket and that is the oversight. Water can stand on plastic at normal humidity for days and days. Further, you can not see what is going on inside and if mold forms, you will only know it from your resulting illness. Unless you live in Arizona, I would advise you to be wary of this appliance.
