Title: good idea, poor design
Review: This little coffee maker should have been perfect for me, but the longer I used it the more maddening it became. The spout of the carafe is poorly designed, and it is impossible to pour a cup without the coffee dribbling and leaking all over the place. The lid of the water tank is also awkward, so filling it without spillage is also difficult. The spring-loaded drip-stop feature works most of the time, but not all the time, so don't remove the pot while still brewing, even though you're supposed to be able to do so.The materials and assembly quality of this coffee maker are good, and it makes a decent cup of coffee, but it also makes a mess in the process. Making four cups of coffee shouldn't mean having to clean up a cup's worth of spilled or leaked coffee and water.After hearing me complain about this thing, my mother gave me a Mr. Coffee TF5 4-cup coffee maker as a gift that is much, much better, and I'm very happy with it. This Quisinart went straight to the dumpster.
