Title: Awkward to Use this Setup
Review: I wish I had seen the other reviews before I bought this. The carafe pouring is ridiculous. The manufacturer indicates that the button on the handle allows easy pouring. Not so. You have to awkwardly push down the button on top of the carafe (the one that allows you to pour coffee while a brew is going)while you pour. You invariably spill coffee on the counter while you are doing this. As for the thermal qualities, not impressed. The coffee is not all that hot going into the carafe, and cools rather quickly. I only make 4 cups at a time, so perhaps that is a factor. It is an adequate machine, it does what it claims to do, but I should have stuck to the cheap $20 models. They work just as well.
Is the review positive or negative?
