I've had mine for aboout 2.5 years. I have been too lazy to find another until recently. It used to be only occasionally that water/coffee would not enter the pot but would overflow onto the burner, counter and floor. Now it does it more often than not! Not only that but it now also overflows from the the top of the coffee basket. I have thoroughly cleaned all of this area and it still does it. Obviously, there is something wrong with the spring mechanism in that brewing cone. But it seems you can't just buy that. You have to get a whole new machine! Based on what others have told me about their experiences with Cuisinart stuff since Conair bought them, I think I want a whole new brand?
