The coffee is good and hot. All the best. But a few annoying flaws we still have found: If you want to fill the pot with water, you have to cover the natural fold. We usually make the thumb of the hand, in which we hold the jug. Since the corner of the lid is rounded to maintenance is lacking. Furthermore, the scale of the machine is quite small. I have certainly problems to read without glasses. And in the morning, right after getting up, I have my reading glasses are not always at hand. Now I know that the scale begins with 3 and I can count the number of cups. And that the drip-stop is not working 100%, we had already ascertained. All other defects described in this statement I can not confirm. The coffee stays hot. The casting works, and so far, the machine is still tight and not leaking. But it is also only a few weeks in use. Overall, really good machine for people with good eyes. Then only the bad to be kept open lid while water is filling.
