…it seems to be made of flimsy plastic, a thin aluminum casing, and the glass carafe feels like it’ll break if I so much as sneeze on it. They couldn’t even bother to print cup measurements on the carafe. I mean, it’s pretty, I guess. Also, I had to return the first one I got, it was DOA right out of the box. Disappointing, because it was a lovely bright red. Returned and got this boring off-white instead.
That’s because you’re not supposed to use it to fill the tank. That’s how you get a dirty coffee machine.
Ok, but what if I clean the carafe first…?
I rinse the carafe thoroughly between uses. I also use filtered water to refill it. Besides, what if I like keeping track of how much coffee I’ve had and/or is left? ;-)
