Title: A Leaking Headache
Review: I bought the predecessor of this model and it seemed to work fine--both for espresso and regular coffee. That is, until a year after I bought it. Then it began to leak every time I made coffee. It would spill about 1-2 cups on the counter through a overflow hole in the bottom of the unit. I couldn't locate the leak and, as it got worse, I decided to replace the unit. I found the new model and assumed the problem was a one-off. I bought this model at a good price and everything was fine until after 6 months, the same problem occurred. I took the unit completely apart and although I found the leak was coming from a built-in overflow tube next to the feeder tube for the coffee maker, there was simply no reason for water to be running out of the tube. In addition, the carafe or lid is a really bad design because if you don't pour slowly, it leaks all over the counter. All told, this is a frustrating piece of junk.
