GE Appliances Drip Stainless Steel 10-Cup Coffee Maker

I read other peoples reviews of this coffeemaker and I did not have any problems with it. as far as the lid where you pour the water into, the lis stayed stationery without falling on your had ehile pouring water into it. it makes a great pot of coffee. i purchased the one wirh the stainless steel carafe which the coffee did stay hot for 3-1/2 hours. the charcoal water filter in the left side of the water well needs to be pushed in snug so it will not fall to the side. I recommend buying this GE Drip Stainless Steel 10 cup Coffee Maker that has the stainless steel carafe. I just hope this coffee maker lasts. I do clean the coffee water compartment out by pouring distilled vinegar into it once a month and let it sit for an hour or so to liosrn any calcium build up to break loose. Then I run 4 pots of clean water thru the coffee maker and put a paper filter in the basket to catch the calcium sediment. It sounds like a lot of work just to clean calcium build up and most people would just buy another coffee maker instead of going through alot of trouble cleaning it out. I change the charcoal filter pod each time I clean it out as well. i know that city water has alot of chemical in the water as well as calcium in the water and it is hard on all coffee makers. But I have a deep well water and it does have some sediment, so I use a counter top water filter to filter out any additional sediment coming through the water pipes. anyway, I like this coffee maker. it makes a great pot of coffee!
