Query: Not so bad at all!

Read the mixed reviews below but ordered anyway as this is the smallest high-end thermal. Yes, you have to pay attention until you've got the hang of it, but this model is just fine and brews a great cup of coffee quickly. The "pour" is nice and full with no spills whatsoever. The removable water basket with water filter a very nice feature. Once you learn to (1) securely snap the coffee filter holder into place by making sure either that you've folded down the edges of the paper filter (as required on most coffee makers), or making sure that you've fully positioned the gold mesh filter, and (2) properly screw and unscrew the coffee pot cap, it's a synch to use. ALSO, comes with a gold mesh filter, so don't order one separately as I did. Pre-heating the pot, as w/ most thermals, a good idea.
