Title: And another floor full of coffee...
Review: This is the only 12-cup thermal carafe coffee maker I've been able to find, and it's at a decent price. So what's the problem? The machine is supremely finicky about: 1) placement of the filter holder in the basket; 2) closing the swinging basket against the main unit; and 3) placement of the carafe beneath the basket. It's surprisingly easy to get any of those three just slightly wrong, and easy to miss that they aren't quite square. And the result if ANY of the three "moving parts" is even minutely "off" is coffee all over your counter and floor. We've owned the machine for seven or eight months, and manage to wash the floor with Starbucks at least once a month - and we're forewarned and pretty careful! Too bad - it makes good coffee but who wants to slurp it off the tile?
