Review title: Fire hazard - see consumer complaints dotcom - mine nearly caused a fire
Product review: Loved the 6 month old coffeemaker up until 1 hour ago when it started smoking - not steam - but like an electrical fire was about to occur. The round rim of the hotplate can't take the heat and was burning. I had noticed the edges were charred before but I thought it was from coffee/water overflow - now I realize it is the rim itself burning. I had to unplug and put outside because it smelled like an electrical fire and the cord exit was smoking. I googled to see many complaints and requests for recalls from the EXACT same situation. I was just heating coffee.I had this for only 6 months. Prior to this I had a Proctor Silex for 16 years!!
