Both I can not confirm. I also feel the opening at the top of the machine underneath the cover, in which one fills the water, not to be too small, even if other devices has more space for pouring. The brewing water runs here through small holes in the top cover, which is why you should keep the lid closed during the run.
The coffee runs through fast and tastes like usual.
Practically, I also think the light that shines on the front page, as long as the appliance is switched on. So it can happen not think you forget to turn it off.
The timer for programming, when the coffee is to go through, can for early birds who are in a hurry in the morning, also be quite handy.
The pot is wider at the bottom than at the top and holds 1.5 liters. This makes it stable. Due to the long handle it can take safely. The cover is so stable clicked the top of the pot that he does not always falls down again when opening and closing, what I experienced on many occasions and incredibly annoying.
I can therefore the poor to mediocre reviews not connect.
