Design and Ease of Use

• "It’s easy to use and makes good coffee."

Cons:

• "The Lid fits too tight, and when I switched it out with the original pot I had, same brand just older, It was too loose."
• "I also don’t like that the pot isn’t on a base that you can remove to easily clean without having to worry about getting the plug opening wet."
• "When you pour the coffee you also get grounds because the spout is in a bad place."
• "The lid is so tight you have to pull EXTREMELY hard."
• "No off and on switch you have to unplug it to turn it off/this is not good or safe."
• "It seems a bit retro with how it does the job with minimal effort. But there is no way to turn it off unless you unplug it."
• "However not on a timer so have to unplug."

Customer Service and Support

Pros:

• "I Called the company & they are replacing it."
• "To be fair, the company did honor a warranty claim."
• "Asking for and getting full instructions for returning the pot was easy."
