Title: Works fine, carafe lid not sturdy
Product review: I've owned this unit for 5 months. Overall for the price, this is a nice coffeemaker. It is easy to program, and after brewing, the coffee is nice and hot, especially if you wait 5 minutes after it's finished. The only thing I was disappointed in is that the hinge that keeps the flip-lid on the top of the carafe is not constructed to hold up too long. The 'hinge' is actually just 2 little nibs of plastic and one of them broke off after about 2 months. The carafe is still usable, I just need to keep my finger on the lid as I pour the coffee. I wash the carafe by hand, and in retrospect should have been aware of its shortcomings.The only other thing is: The coffeemaker fits nicely under my cabinet, but in order to fill it, I have to pull it all the way out every time because the coffeemaker lid flips up in order to receive the water. So I just put it on a tray and slide the whole works out on the tray.
