 Very Dissapointing April 7, 2007

1) Someone else pointed out that the carafe design collects steam which leaks all over the place... It's actually worse than that. The plastic ring around the top conceals a piece of soft rubber that is adheared to the lip of the glass. On top of that (on the inside... I took it apart) sits a plastic ring, and between this inner plastic ring and the outer plastic ring there is space in which over time collects whatever leaks into it when it's turned upside down and washed in a dishwasher. In adddition to leaking this mix of old coffee and dishwashing detergent onto your counter, it also leaks into your coffee. So, you must hand wash the caraf. It took me a couple years to figure this out in which time I've been drinking small amounts of that gunk every morning.
2) The digital clock on mine quickly grew so faint I can barely read it, espectially when it's orange which it is when you try to set the time or the coffee brew time. I mean, you can BARELY read it.
3) After about a year, rust formed under the paint on the top gray part adjacent to where you pour water in through the stainless steel grate.
4) You can see in the glamour shots of this piece of junk a stainless container where you put the ground coffee. The handle is plastic and readily broke by the nut that attaches it to the stainless container. Inside, there sits a plastic basket, so you have two large items where there could have been one to put in your dishwasher.
5) It has no gauage on it's side where you can see how much water you've poured into it. So, you have to pour the water into the carafe and then ito the machine.

we own other KitchenAid products a mixer and 2 blenders... we had problem with one of the blenders and called KitchenAid even though it was past the warranty period they offered to replace both which they did at no cost to me...they also replaced another product for me afew years earlier at no cost... to me this great service ...my wife enjoys all the products we own by kithcenAid she is the one that use them the most...we bought the one with the additional warmer she likes that because she can make decaffe and regular coffee when we have people over...i hope this helps you..
Great coffeemaker but... January 9, 2007

I really enjoy the coffeemaker. It makes a great cup of coffee. My only reservation is the finish. The paint began crazing after a couple of uses. I am lucky that it tucks in under my cabinets as it is unattractive. If you are looking for a showpiece on your counter, unless they have changed their paint quality, this is not the piece for you.
1 cup = 4.25 ounces??? Please... January 5, 2007

When I read of this 12-cup coffee maker with die-cast body I had to get one. Upon reading the manual I came across this line: "The scale is a measurement of water volume in 4 1/4 ounce cups." Excuse me? A coffee cup is 6 ounces in measurement terms. Most coffee mugs hold around 11 ounces. At best this is a 8 1/2 cup coffee maker... or a little over 4 1/2 mugs worth. And for $300! I haven't even had it four hours and it's going back to the store in the morning.
Perfect Coffee Maker November 25, 2006

I've had every different drip coffee maker under the sun, and they all fell short of my expectations in one way or the other. I finally decided to splurge on this model, and I couldn't be happier. My experience--unlike that of a previous reviewer--has been that it can make VERY strong coffee if so desired. I paired this with the Pro Line coffee grinder, and on a factory setting of 5.5, this makes as strong a coffee as I can imagine wanting. Also, it's dead simple to operate, makes a full 12 cup pot in under 10 minutes, and thanks to the design, cleanup is a breeze. I couldn't be happier. Oh, and it's built like a tank, so it will probably outlast me.
