Title: Time and Usage Developed Failure
Product review: I too was swayed to buy Krups. Read some of the background and felt the Engineering would be faultless. Overtime my Model 466 began to leak. Small amounts but a coffee mess and mild stain under the coffee maker. The filter (internal) seemed to be used up so I discarded it as I currently use filtered water. During the steps required to set up the coffee pot, the handle on the Carafe became strained and broke in two places. Fortunately the Carafe was empty so no injury. Apparently, over time, heat causes the handle on the Carafe to become brittle. Maybe I was asking more out of a $50.00 coffee pot than I should. It did consistently make good coffee. I used the pot several times a day.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
