Title: Weak Coffee, Overflowing basket, Awkward Design
Review: I'm afraid that this coffee maker has been pretty much a disappointment.First and foremost, it doesn't make very good coffee. The water is quite hot and it picks up some nice subtleties of the coffee, but the brewing speed is extremely fast which tends to create rather weak coffee without much body. The speed also makes the basket overflow extremely easily if the coffee is ground too fine or you add "too much." That's in quotes because in order to get a good solid cup of coffee, the right amount is "too much."The pot itself is rather quirky. To fully seal the vacuum pot, you need to add an external topper, which we've already lost track of, and to dispense coffee, you need to twist the cover, which can easily become stuck and require a good amount of force, to the open position. Finally, this unit is very tall and doesn't have enough weight at the bottom leaving it more than a bit tippy and awkward to place.
