It was a gift, and it was easy trying to decide if I should plug it in or send it back. (I don't like the way it looks) It's a 30 year old machine with a 30 year old design which is cheap. Most importantly, The bottom piece just slips out and does not stay put. I can imagine spilling the coffee every morning ~ I just don't like the way this drip tray dislodges itself so easily. There is nothing really to hold it and It seems so cheaply constructed. I hate the way you need to pull parts off before you can access the water tank ~ This 'new' machine looks like it has pulled from the garage after 20 years of storage. It is too bad that it was purchased from Aabree coffee instead of Amazon or macy's because they are not a friendly company as they impose an undesclosed restocking fee at their own convenience (that's right, they will surprise you in three months with your credit amount reflecting a restocking fee varying from 15-50%)
