Title: Looks nice but does not make a gourmet cup of coffee!
Review: I was so exicted to get this unit for Xmas from my wife in 2004...and from the first cup on, I have been dissappointed. It usely produces a cup of coffee with metallic flavor. I have tried various mixes and proportions, high quality beans and always use bottled water. It is keep clean (ALL components) and descaled, yet the coffee always tastes the same to me-sub-standard. I have had various Krupps heating pad brewers (which made good coffee) and decided it was time to get this all in one unit. I have the same compliants others have about the moisture and steam creeping up into the bean holder, lukewarm coffee after an hour and finding coffee spilling from God know's where onto the counter. After drinking coffee at our local cafe and occassionally Starbucks, I am spoiled and will continue my search for a better unit. Look for this unit at our next yardsale.
