Title: Pathetic Design
Review: I've had the Mr. Coffee 4-cup switch (?) coffee maker for about a month, using it once or twice daily. The spring-loaded valve that enables "Stop-n-Pour" has fallen out 6 times. The plastic O-ring on the valve is beginning to break down. The pot is very difficult to put into or take out of the unit, requiring two hands. The pot leaks coffee onto the counter during the first pour, no matter how it is done. When the pot is taken out of the unit, coffee drips onto the heater plate, resulting in a scorched-coffee smell. It's hard to imagine how such a design failure made it into production. At $19.99, this is overpriced by about $19.98. A terrible piece of kitchen equipment.
Is the review positive or negative?
