Title: Coffee Maker Excercise in Form over function
Review: First of all; yes, it's pretty. I'll admit I bought it because of the name and the appearance. That said, I have to add the following:1. I agree whole heartedly that the thing pours like crap. I don't understand people who claim otherwise. I just poured a travel mug full and it almost took almost a full minute. (No, it's not a ten-gallon cup.)2. I've tried different combinations of grinding fineness and water/coffee ratios but I've never had a good cup of coffee from this thing. I even do the "let the water sit out overnight" routine.3. Emptying & cleaning the gold filter is a pain and waste of water. Give me a good paper filter that can be tossed in the garbage in a flash.4. I am probably around 70 uses so now I have to hunt the earth for a water filter? Thanks for the heads up on that one, fellow reviewers.5. I've ended up with a counter full of coffee a couple times too. You have to make sure it's set in JUST SO.Run, don't walk from this thing.
