Love it except for pouring in water
This is the third coffee maker I have bought within a year. The first one was a Mr. Coffee which was horrible. Then I got a Sunbeam which, when I unpacked it, looked exactly like the Mr. Coffee except with a different name. I checked with Mr. Google and sure enough they are the same company. It lasted about three weeks before burning out. Consumer Reports recommended this one, so I decided to spend a little more and get a good one.
It looks great and works great. I do have a problem pouring the water into the tank - the tank opening is really not big enough and water was getting all over everything. I solved that probem by using a funnel to direct the water. This would have received 5 stars if not for the water problem.
Great Coffee Maker at a great price
Our coffee maker died unexpectedly so I needed a good one quick. Did a quick search with Consumer Reports and they had Kalorik (never had one of those before) model that was highly rated. After searching Amazon.com, I found it a great price.
It makes a great pot of coffee relatively fast. Only cons would be there is no beep when it is done, and it is tricky to fill.

Kalorik CM25282SS Stainless-Steel Programmable 12-Cup CoffeemakerI did a quick bit of research on Consumer Reports and found this coffeemaker did receive a good recommendation. I had the carafe handle separate from the actual carafe the 3rd time I filled it up to capacity. The weight of the water caused the handle to break free over the top lip of the carafe. It was a bet of work, but after a phone call and a little email work Kalorik did provide me with a new carafe and they were quite prompt in sending a new one.
My second complaint is there is a continuing plastic smell coming from the internals upon opening the top lid to pour in the water. I thought it might just be me, but I have had several other friend "sniff" my coffeemaker and agree. It has not impacted the taste of the coffee, but the odor continues after 30 plus pots full of coffee.
I am fine with the coffeemaker, but I would...
