Very good coffee maker but not perfect

I drank coffee from the Jura Cappresso machine. After receiving the dreaded death error code, I was in the market for a new machine. Although the machine has been running for 7 years and has made over 9,000 cups of coffee, I didn't want to spend more than 1,000 euros on a coffee machine again. Decided to get a better review of filter coffee makers. It took me a while to get used to a different cup of coffee, but after a month I can say that this coffee maker makes a very good cup of coffee, not as good as I've ever tasted but maybe on par the best. I had at home. I get no bitterness from the coffee I brew in this kettle. Although there are a few downsides. It looks cool, but it's made of plastic, so it feels just as durable as other coffee makers that cost ten times less. I opted for a thermos and there is no indentation at all on the rim which allows the coffee to spill out far out of the mouth and mostly onto the counter. Finally, reading the instructions, I realized that the company was too arrogant. Basically they say if the water to coffee ratio they give you isn't what you want, change your taste buds, not the ratio, because the ratio is perfect. I've changed the ratio to my liking and so far the car hasn't exploded and the earth is still spinning, although people in suits and sunglasses may show up at my door to remove the car after this is posted. Oh yes, and costs. Yes, it's expensive, but replacing the habit with Starbucks or even Keurig will pay for itself in a few months.
