Review on KRUPS Simply Brew Compact Filter Drip Coffee Maker, 5-Cup, Silver: The Perfect Small-Sized Coffee Machine for Your Home by Troy Zelazny

Have you ever bought something and after using it you knew that the people who designed and approved it never never used it to have? Here's the thing. The lid of the carafe does not stay open because it only opens strictly vertically and then slams shut. If it opened, say, 10 degrees above vertical, it would stay open by itself when I stood on the counter trying to pour water from my Zero Water jug. It is also difficult to pour water into the tank due to the design of the spout on the unit. Doesn't open wide enough to get in the way. The security issue is the bad position of the switch. He's on the bottom. I always stick it on the counter alongside other things like a toaster and other items. If you move it around during the day to use other items and if it bumps into anything else, even slightly, the toggle switch will turn on and be imperceptible due to its position. So I wore it several times and didn't know anything about it. Big safety issue regarding overheating as it can run all day and damage the device or even start a fire. It brews a delicious hot cup of coffee, but a very poor and dangerous design. How could the producers not know all of this if they've ever used it? I will return it to Revane.
