I love the concept of this coffee maker, but it did not live up to it's potential. My unit lasted about a year and a half. I find this totally unacceptable. I've used Bunn coffee makers in the past and they lasted well over ten years. I also had the lid break and had to super glue it back together. It's very difficult to clean and waste a lot of coffee. Finally after brewing a final pot of coffee for me this morning its display went blank. I'm glad I only wasted $40 instead of the full retail price.
