Query: Great for a while, then awful

After a ton of research, I was initially pleased with the product. Made great, hot coffee. But by week two, the bloom was off the rose. Multiple times since the coffee has overflowed from the basket making ungodly messes. It's very difficult to clean and maintain. Now, the only way to make sure the coffee ends up in the carafe is to wedge a chop stick into the release mechanism. I'd send it back for repairs, but that would cost me $10 (to Cuisinart) and who knows how much for shipping. Just not worth it for a $30 coffee maker. My old Braun was beautifully styled and never gave me a moments worry. Those were the days.
