I have the coffee maker because of the good reviews and the assumption at Melitta one is determined properly purchased. This machine does not fulfill at all my expectations. The water tank is so stupid bent so that it is quite a feat to pour excluding ancillary fill all the water into the tank. Since the pot so has a certain size, you nudge the water tank cap and then drops a counter. The IR cut filter can not remove it from the machine. After some time, show up in the IR cut filter traces of coffee. Since the IR cut filter (since it can be not decrease) can not be flushed, which looks very grubby. The lid of the coffee pot is also a bad design. One can not wash namely. Thus, the lid when used daily looks soon made no more appetizing. Also runs out when pouring the coffee not only from the pouring but also from the opening in the top center. So not only fill the water but also the coffee pouring target security demand. The ability to set the coffee strength and the function that the machine turns off after 15 minutes even very nice gimmicks that have nothing more to do well but. I have disposed of the machine after a month. I can not recommend it.
