Title: Not So Hot
Review: I bought this unit to replace my 14-year-old Krups (the best coffeemaker I've ever owned), hoping for the same quality and simplicity of design.This unit failed to meet that expectation so egregiously that I can't recommend it to anyone.It's quite bulky, and unless your cabinets are at an unusual height it won't fit underneath.Major problems: cheap plastic latch to open basket door--requiring two hands to open; bubbles/air pockets every time in water level tube--rendering it useless; poorly designed spout on carafe causing coffee to spill all over floor and counter--unless poured very slowly in a thin stream (not who I am in the morning); basket, once lifted out, has no support to rest by itself on the counter--not helpful.While the electronics options are nice, they're not enough to offset the overall drag of making coffee with this machine.While it's less than a year old, we're getting rid of it.How did Krups go so wrong?
