Title: Makes weak coffee
Review: I bought a replacement for this after about a month of use because the coffee is disappointingly weak and lacking in flavor - the water doesn't seem hot enough. I got tired of using twice the normal amount of coffee to get my two cups of joe in the morning - and no matter what, it made good Sumatra taste like Folger. Quite disappointed; I've had good luck with other non-thermal carafe Mr Coffee machines in the past (and in fact, that's what I just replaced this one with.)Also the lid is a bit of a pain to get used to - what's wrong with traditional screw-on lids? Those work very well. And finally, the spout is poorly designed and it's really hard not to drip coffee all over the counter when pouring.I could have lived with the last two flaws, but couldn't take the weak, nasty-tasting coffee. I would not recommend this if taste is a priority. It did keep the coffee reasonably hot for an hour or so, but you have to "pre-warm" the pot with hot water to keep it hot for longer.
