Title: Messy, hard to clean, inadequate directions
Review: I've had this machine a couple of months. It makes perfectly adequate coffee, but I have yet to remove the carafe from its stand or to pour a cup of coffee without making a mess (I never had these problems with my former coffee maker, a Mr. Coffee brand.) You can't clean the coffee pot in the dishwasher, because the lid won't come off (my Mr. Coffee lid was removable.) Finally, the brew-strength selector is impossible to interpret, and its use is not addressed in the manual.
Is the review positive or negative?
