Title: Form over function
Product review: This is a novel looking coffeemaker but it's usability is hampered by several design flaws. The water resevoir opening is small, and if care isn't taken when filling, it dribbles down the back and onto the counter. The spherical carafe is difficult to pour without dripping and costs over $20 to replace, holding only 10 cups. The brew basket is not a standard shape, so no permanent filter can be used and the brewling process is uneven. The carafe must be "locked" into place on the warming plate. Yes, it looks good, but I expect good usability from a German design; this made in Mexico model disappoints.
