Delivery, fulfillment was excellent, product is not!
I followed the makers instructions and ran a couple of carafes of water through the coffee maker. That seemed OK, although it didnt seem to operate quite as smoothly as the older coffee maker its replacing; this type of coffee maker does make noise as it heats the water and pours it over the coffee filter. That off/normal operation, or at least off/normal in my several decades of experience with Melitta coffee makers, was a tip that I might have a defective maker. After my last clean/out run, I emptied the carafe and set the maker aside for the moment. Returned a couple of hours later and there was a puddle of water around the maker. Defective. Theres a crack in the tank or some other issue with the maker. It should NOT dribble water on the countertop after making a pot of coffee.
