Title: Don't Waste Your Money on this one
Product review: This item looks very nice; however, it is a mess to clean-up the filter basket after the coffee has been made. Even though you're supposed to be able to leave the caraffe's lid closed and placed directly under the basket's valve, water continues to drip. During the percolation phase, water does not flow evenly, but sprays over the lid of the caraffe. I had to keep the lid open. Appearance isn't everything and you're better off looking elsewhere for an easy-clean coffee maker. Consumer Reports gives this item a high rating which is the reason why I bought it in the first place! I guess that Consumer Reports is better used for "big ticket" items and not for small appliances.
