Title: Poorly designed; not recommended
Review: Like other reviewers, we had a carafe that broke after only three or four uses.Even if the carafe hadn't broken, I would have regretted the purchase because of these design flaws:1. The coffeemaker is plastered with warnings to unplug before adding water. Since there's no battery, this means you have to re-set the clock and the timer every time you add water.2. The instructions recommend rinsing the carafe with hot water before brewing, but you can't do this if you're using the programming feature to make coffee for you the next morning.3. The high-shouldered carafe is very difficult to pour from; you have to nearly turn it upside-down to get the last cup out.4. There are markings on the lid that show you when it's open for brewing/pouring and when it's closed for storing. These markings are on stickers, and the stickers aren't very durable.
