Comment:
I've used the same recipe for making coffee for years with every auto drip coffee maker I've ever encountered. I've always had good results until this coffee maker came along. I can't get it to make a decent cup of coffee. It's ALWAYS weak, even when I double the amount of ground coffee. And it's not like I'm gaining subtlety at the expense of strength - the weak coffee it makes doesn't even have a good aroma or flavor. Avoid this one at all costs.

It makes good coffee, uses standard filters and starts itself. It's also easy to program. I've never had trouble with the warming plate burning the coffee. I like the fact that the warmer turns off after 2 hours. That way I don't have to think about it. The only problem is that it drips. I solved that problem by pouring with the lid completely raised. Apparently the dripping has to do with coffee splashing against the lid.

Well there is a reason for everything, this coffee maker is always on sale and so knowing that they last forever picked one up. A year later it stops working as if timed, still under warranty we were sent a new one. Now 5 months later the same problem. Never understood how stuff just stops functioning, this never happened in the past but now it is common!
