Opening for water is too narrow to fill without splashing all over the counter. Cover is flimsy. Top of the machine has a "brew regulator" for setting mild to strong brewing -- the instructions do not say (in any of three languages )which end of the dial is which, and the icon on the dial reveals nothing obvious. Reusable coffee-ground basket which came with machine arrived bent out of shape.
It does make coffee. The auto-pause works. The advertised feature on the box, proclaiming an on/off switch that actually lights up when "on" works really really well !
But all in all, a sloppy conception yielded a very sloppy machine. The people who designed and approved this thing for manufacture quite clearly never used it in a kitchen.
