not quite close the thing

About Design I need nothing type, which can also decide for themselves.
BUT: for daily use since 10/11/2013 the same defect has occurred as many them.The described here and also at another place pot runs out, there is a tightness problem between black plastic ring and stainless steel body before.
This problem has been known since 2010 and found on the Internet. (ZBHeise).
Otherwise, we were satisfied with taste, function and insulation, but now the whole environment of the machine is in coffee water.

UPDATE:
-----------------
04:02:15 the jug of spare machine is already leaking.
Now we can refund the price and look for a new machine.
Melitta arises to continue and would only repair or replace if it were posted before, but 1 week without coffee can not.
(Not up to date)
Conclusion: taste good but heavily marred by bad design
