Summary: I dont understand people's petty reviews
Comment: This is an awesome machine that makes great coffee. After reading the reviews i was skeptical but decided to try it out anyway and I am glad I did. The reviewers complain about the littlest things - it's absurd! The bottom line is that this machine is stury, durable, has a sleek design and makes one hell of a cup of coffee. I highly recommend it to everyone.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Cheap is as Cheap Does
Comment: Looks great.. if only they put as much effort into the quality as the facade. The machine function itself works fine: programmable timer, brewing, etc... But there are so many frustrating short-comings it's almost not worth buying despite the $19.99 pricetag.
Yes, the area for filling the reservoir is ridiculously small. You can fill it without spilling if you pour slowly, but this is a poor design that I'm surprised made it off the drawing table. You'd think Farberware was the first company to make a coffee machine.
I've owned mine for about a year and the warming plate has begun to corrode! As in RUST. The company didn't even make the warming plate out of rustproof metals; it's just cheap iron, and poorly coated to boot. When I contacted the company they said it was out of warranty, despite the fact that my problem is a production defect, not a warranty issue. If you buy this machine, just remember, you get what you pay for. 'Nuff said.

Summary: Like a Potemkin village...not much behind the stainless steel facade
Comment: Poor design for a few reasons, to wit:
1. Very small area in which to fill the reservior. it is almost unavoidable to spill either into the coffee grounds (no particular harm) or on the counter (more harm).
2. The glass decanter almost always drips, even when pouring slowly. I requested a replacement decanter from the manufacturer thinking that perhaps this was a manufacturing defect, but it was only marginally better in this regard. Also, due to design of the decanter lid, one has to remember to apply pressure to it to keep it from flopping open when filling the reservoir.
3. It makes quite a racket when it brews (and since the brewing time is rather lengthy, you will be listening to it for some time). This bothers my wife more than it does me.
4. When you raise the reservoir lid to replace the filter and refill the reservoir, condensed water from the last brewing cycles drips all over the counter unless one is very careful to open slowly, with a slight shaking motion to drip the water into the filter. And even then, a residual still makes its way to the counter. Again, bugs the wife more than it does me.

Summary: Not What I Had Hoped
Comment: I wish I'd looked at reviews before I got this coffee machine, I'd been let down so many times before and I thought this one would finally be worthwhile, it wasn't.
ISSUES:
1. When pouring water in with the carafe it almost always spills down the side onto the counter.
2. After about a month the side part that tells you how much water you poured in just stopped working.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Don't break the carafe!!
Comment: I'm sorry, but the complaints about the small hole to fill is very nit-picky. If you take your time and fill the reservoir slowly, it's totally not an issue. The coffee maker works great on all other levels, but the real problem I have is we broke the carafe not long after we got it (naturally). Ok, it happens, but can you find a replacement anywhere?? We had a Mr. Coffee before and you can easily replace a broken carafe for a fraction of the cost of the coffee maker. I can't even find a replacement on Farberware's site. That brings down the rating as it's inevitbale that someday an accident will happen and the incompatible coffee maker becomes useless.
