After having this product for 1.5 months I have dealt with the leaky pouring and it is terrible as the other post mentions. I called Krups and they told me to pour slower and even doing that it still leaks. The unit has a tank on the back that is removable so you can take that to the tap and place your water in. The other week it started a steady drip of water which my solution was to place my finger over it when I carry it over from sink to coffee maker. That has turned into a full on pool of water under my coffee maker. It is pouring out water in the back on the machine. I now have to send it to Krups for repairs and it takes 3 weeks. This unit costs too much money to have basic issues as I am having.

  I really wanted to like this pot, because of its looks and the fact that it did brew really excellent coffee. But it had annoying issues I could not get over. The carafe is designed like a dribble glass. Nomatter how careful we were, we could not pour from a full carafe or an nearly empty carafe without spilling. Second, while using coffee ground specifically for an electric drop pot, we found that the machine consistently made a mess when brewing a full pot – the grounds would overflow the basket & be pushed up through the steam vents on the top of the machine. Also the machine I received did not support the advertised 2 automatic settings feature, even though the Krups box listed this as well as the Amazon add. The manual did not list this feature and the simple and intuitive programming menu didn’t allow setting more than one start time.

  I was grateful for Amazon’s return policy, which made it simple to send this disappointing machine back.

  This coffeemaker was bought because of the Krups reputation. Boy were we disappointed! Even after spending $149+ for it, the carafe has the POOREST design I’ve ever seen! When I contacted Krups directly (it surely isn’t the retailer’s fault), their solution was “flip up the lid when pouring & pour slowly”. Can you believe that? This from the Manufacturer??? I really expected a more scientific response. Save your money and go past this coffeemaker! No matter how much coffee is in the carafe, you will end up losing a large amount down the front of the carafe while pouring a cup. We have been very disappointed and will NEVER again buy a Krups product.

  This coffeemaker looks fantastic, but when you pour your steamin hot cup of java, the carafe leaks all over the place. We called Krups and they said to return it because no replacement carafe is available. Smells like a recall to me.

  This is one fantastic looking coffee maker, but as others have already mentioned, it’s nearly impossible to pour a cup of coffee without getting half of it all over the counter, no matter how carefully and slowly you pour, regardless of whether the lid is opened or closed. It’s really a shame. If they come out with a revised spout on the carafe that really works properly, they’d have a really fantastic product. Our’s is going back to Bed, Bath and Beyond tomorrow…

  Please, read the other reviews and believe what they say. This is a horrible machine. You absolutely cannot pour from it without spilling half of the coffee on your counter and the coffee that you can manage to get into your cup won’t even taste that fantastic. Krups was not at all helpful or even interested in correcting the problem when I contacted them to complain. Very disappointing, especially since I have several other Krups small kitchen appliances. Thankfully, MetroKitchen (where the machine was shipped from) was very helpful and we are now happily enjoying our Capresso replacement.

  very pretty pitcher
  Rating:3 out of 5 stars
  I chose Bodum because I wanted a glass water pitcher that would be elegant yet functional. The pitcher is fantastic for what I needed. I do not use the plastic filter. The lid cap is hard to keep tightly sealed with the rest of the lid seal. I have not checked if this would work better if I used the plastic filter? I just don’t want my daily water to have plastic standing in it all day.

  very excellent machine, amazon is the best!

  this is a fantastic machine. it makes perfect cappuccino and coffee, with very small work. if you can afford it get it. the only reason mine went back is that there are alot of plastic parts inside the machine, that I could see wearing out. At this price point I don’t want to see plastic parts. but my friend has had his machine for over two years with no issues.
