Works Fine!

I am quite surprised by all of the negative reviews about this coffee maker. I've had mine for 4 1/2 years now and have had no problems with overflows, clogged filters, shattered glass, or lukewarm coffee. I will say, however, that in order to maintain hot coffee in the carafe for several hours you MUST remove the carafe from the brewer once it's done brewing. The cap on the carafe is open when brewing (that's how the coffee gets in there) and remains open while sitting under the brewer. If you leave it there you'll likely have lukewarm coffee within 30 minutes. So please remove it if you want hot coffee hours after it's initial brewing.
