We ordered this coffee pot Dec 3rd, to be told by Today's concepts that they have to go through the manufacturer Hamilton Beach to get it. They are all going through Hamilton Beach who doesn't make it any more. Well, Hamilton Beach already told me that it is discontinued. The problem is that Today's Concepts, Amazon and Foto Connection are advertising that they have this product in Apple color, but once you order it, you'll find out they don't. It's a waste of time. Just and FYI for you all.
I guess the water heating element had melted it, making me wonder what kind of hot-plastic chemicals were seeping into my coffee. For a year and a half, this coffee maker would have earned 5 stars. Then the burner plate started to peel.dramatically. I bought it for it's solid construction and as a side benefit, it made darned good coffee. Then I noticed some blistering in the plastic lid that covers the water well. I contacted the manufacturer to see if I could purchase a replacement cover for the water well and they never responded. It's gone to the landfill now and I've switched to a manual drip cone over an insulated carafe.Greener and cheaper.
Despite the fact that Amazon still shows the red coffee maker today as being "in stock" at Today's Concept, after a month wait I got an email saying the order was cancelled because it is unavailable. I did, however, get the other matching pieces I ordered. I would not have ordered anything in the "Moroccan Red" if I had known I couldn't get the whole set. I will try to find it elsewhere on the internet; very disappointing transaction.
The timer works well and I like the automatic cutoff. It just makes good coffee. This is not a fancy product and it doesn't claim to be. Because of the metal in its construction it is heavier than som other coffee makers. I have had none of the problems with leakage that others have written about. It is easy to set up. This might be an issue if you have to slide it out from under a cabinet to pour water into the tank. I would recommend this product to anyone.
VERY USER FRIENDLY, MAKES GREAT COFFEE AND KEEPS IT HOT. ATTRACTIVE ON COUNTER TOP. VERY EASY TO KEEP CLEAN, THANKS RONNIE
