As an avid coffee drinker I have gone thru plenty of coffee makers in my time. This is definitely my favorite of all. The caraffe keeps coffee hot for several hours. Mine has never leaked. You do have to pour water into the reservoir (it's not detatchable) but most are set up that way. Mine is close to the sink so I use the sprayer wand to fill it. It will overflow if you put more water in than its 10-cup capacity (duh). The opening is small but I use a bottle brush or dish brush to clean it and it is very stain-resistant. It has a setting for strong or regular coffee, delay timer (I can set it up night before and set time to brew in am and wake up to ready-to-go coffee!) There is a clean feature so it can run just hot water through very slowly to clean it out. You can set it to beep (or not)to signal brewing finished. Found out my brother has one of these as well and loves his too. I think it is very easy to use and have had no problems at all. I think the other reviewer's problems were the operator and not the coffee pot. In fact I think this one doesn't drip at all when poured (can't say that for my other coffee makers). It does have a tiny hole at one end of the lid to allow air to escape while pouring so if you tip it over too far it may leak out the top, but you'd have to turn it almost upside down to get it to do that unless it was just really really full(sounds like the other person put in way too much water). I'll buy the exact same one if this one ever "poops out." 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful:  Good coffeemaker fails after one year, September 15, 2008 By  Robert Karp "F16 Col." (Toledo, OH)  The coffeemaker is easy to program and does make good coffee in approximately 6-7 minutes. The thermal carafe pours slowly but does keep the coffee hot for at least 3-4 hours. Although the coffeemaker comes with a single water filter, extras (I called the manufacturer) are prohibitvely expensive. At one year the timer stopped working. One week later, the entire unit stopped working. I would not purchase this unit again. I am going to opt for either a Cuisinart Brew Central Thermal Carafe or a Capresso Digital Thermal Coffeemaker. If the unit had not failed with daily use at 12 months, I would have rated this coffeemaker at 3 1/2 to 4 stars. Video Review: See all Small Appliances reviews at Expotv
