Title: Great coffee - poorly made machine
Review: I've owned this coffee maker for over a year. There's no question that it makes excellent coffee, once you get the hang of it, but it uses an insane amount of coffee. So be prepared to spend an awful lot of money on coffee beans with this one. For me, I'm willing to put up with that for a really good brew. But my real problem with this machine (and my reason for writing this review) is that while it is an excellent design, the manufacturing seems to be second rate. After about 6 months the electrical unit on the machine burned out. I called Bodum and they said the replacement part was back ordered. After waiting about 6 weeks I called them again and they finally sent me a whole new coffee maker. Now, 6 months later, another electronics malfunction is causing the thing to boil over about one in four times that we use it. Frankly, I'm fed up and I'm going to buy anther machine altogether.Bottom line - great design, great coffee, very poorly made.
