On the handle of the coffee maker is a tag that says “Leak Proof Spout”. I should send a video to Youtube to show how non-leak proof this thing is. Sent the first one back and got a second….guess what? It leaks…now I call HB direct to see if they would send me just the carafe…so I could help the environment…they said yes but were going to charge me for the shipping…this product and company – A joke!!

I received this yesterday, it’s going back today. the pot itself is ok but it has NO light. To see the AM or PM you need a flashlight. It would be nice to be able to see the time when you’re in the kitchen. I checked and it doesn’t have one, so i didn’t receive a defective pot.

i bought this for work. it brews coffee, but that’s it.
it is too tall for my cubicle. i can’t open the top all of the way without hitting the top bins. so i had to turn it sideways to put water in it.
the power cord is all of 1.5 feet long. crap.
the moving sprayer means you need perfect coffee filter sizes or it scrunches them all up.
it does pour great though. drip free. keeps the coffee hot. tastes pretty good.

I read the reviews and bought this model for one reason only. Several reviewers said it made hot, hot coffee. It does not. It makes warm coffee like most all drip coffee makers. Don’t buy this if you want a hot cup of coffee. Our old Cuisinart broke after many years and I was hoping to replace it with a less expensive model. I’ve already returned this HB model and will try again with another.

My major gripe is that it produces a weak cup of coffee. I don’t think the water gets hot enough to make a nice cup of coffee. The place where you pour the water is OK, but its easy to spill if you’re not on target. I was going on the cheap, and in the process blew $35.
