Can I put the coffee in from the front or do I have to move the coffee maker to put the coffee in from the top?

Hi Wendy, You must put the coffee in from the top. I' do have to pull mine out to load the water and the coffee but it is no problem for me. I like the pot and the timer lets me wake up to the smell of coffee.

Coffee goes in from the top. If you have it under a countertop you will need to move it out.

You need to raise the top and put the basket, filter and coffee in the top.

you have to lift the lid.... this is not the item that they sent me. it was the item that i ordered... but they made a mistake... and i am soooooo glad they did. i got the one where you lift the coffee and reservoir out and pour the water in. much, much, much nicer than this model. i have both models now... this one i took to camp and when it goes, i will replace it with the one they sent me by mistake....

It is really simple. If you turn the knob forward, the machine brews the coffee. If you turn the knob backward, the machine blows steam (through the sort of small pipe located at its right hand side) to froth milk or cream. If you are planning on doing both, it might be a good idea to add a bit more water, so that you can have enough for coffee brewing and producing steam.

you can sit coffee maker on something like a drawer that holds your pods, then with the drip try removed you can fit a taller cup. Mine is on something so i can drip into travel cup it can be done, but some may not feel its worth reconfiguring.

You shouldn't have to take the lid off to pour the coffee. Push down the little lever and it "rocks" open enough to pour. The lid may seem wobbly because of this functionality. I wouldn't try tipping the pot upside down if it had liquid in it because I'm sure it would come out.

You can hold a container up to the push button and drain it or simply lift out the container the coffee is in and dump. I wait until after it's cooled off and I am ready to make coffee for the next morning. I rinse mine well each day before I make a new pot for the next day. It all comes apart and back together really very simply. BEST coffee maker ever! We have had ours since July and to be honest, if it broke tomorrow, we would buy another, we like it that well.

Yes, but only if it is not set up correctly. It will not flow correctly if you don't put a paper filter in because the grounds will clog the release in the bottom of the basket. Also, if you forget to put the lid on the coffee pot, it will not push up on the release button thus not allowing the coffee to flow and will overflow. Set up correctly, this is the best coffee maker I've ever owned!

If you wait until the morning like I do, you pour cold coffee out the top (it detaches and has a nice handle) and then rinse and return. You can always dispense the whole batch of coffee to waste if you prefer, from the bottom

No, that is not an option with this machine. I have noticed that if you put hot water in it to begin with the coffee will be even hotter when dispensed.

It is too tall. The top of the Keurig will not open enough to put the k-cup in. I purchased this product and love it! I had to move my Keurig to accommodate it. If you don't have counter space with no upper cabinets, I recommend you look at a carousel stand or something to put beside of the Keurig.

You have to make sure to hold the pot so the coffee comes out exactly in the middle of the spout. Mine takes forever to brew.

Awkward?? This is the easy part and it is the best coffee carafe that has been made. Since there is no designated spot to pour, you just loosen the cap (top) about 3/4 to one turn and pour. You can pour from anyplace on the pot with the design of the top. You can take the top all the way off and pour if you want to also. It is very easy to use but you do have to loosen the top each time.

No. It is just made short and opens from the front so you can fill the water reservoir and coffee basket from the front and not have to slide the coffee maker out from under the upper cabinet.

I don't see why you couldn't. If you sit your two cups beside each other, it would not make a mess as you switch from one cup to the other. It is really easy to keep lifting up and checking the level of the coffee in the cup because I keep doing this to see if I have poured enough water. Something I need to try is pouring a cup back through to do a "double brew" to see if I can do my normal amount of coffee grounds. With all the travel drip systems the main complaint was needing to use more grounds for normal strength and this one is the same in those regards. :) Heather

Yes you can just put water in the top and run it through. I have put the tea bag in where you put the coffee and then let the waterrun through it and you have a nice cup of hot tea and it gets pretty hot. I love this coffee maker.

Yes. It is tricky. You must flip the switch on the top of the machine to the right, but you must place the coffee cup on the left where the coffee will brew.

Absolutely, the opening on top is about two plus inches across. There is a tube that pumpsThe coffee or tea out with a half inch opening on the bottom but it does not rest on the bottom for what it might mean to you. Hope this helps. It is a really nice unit.

I put it in the top rack, however you can run soapy water through the top with no problem just push the button and the water streams out. I love this cup I have not spilled in my purse since I got it and it keeps my coffee hot for hours and if I put ice and water the ice stays for at least 18 hours!!
