Makes good coffee but...it leaks brewed coffee from under the spout. Takes high torque to seal the lid on completely, so I imagine the thumb-tab and/or spout will break off within the next 6 weeks. Another issue is that once you engage the thumb-tab, that breaks the seal of the screw-on lid, so you can't pour coffee without a good 1/2oz or so leaking down the pot onto your counter or floor...
