The pot is very heavy and it’s hard to fill the reservoir; while filling I hit the lid hinge and water went all over the place. The temperature the pot keeps the coffee is a personal preference. I like my coffee hot, but by the time I get to the bottom of the cup, it’s cold. As soon as I pour a cup, I have to put it in the microwave & heat it more.
If you like your cup of coffee to be hot by the time you get to the bottom, this product is not for you.
