How hard (how much of a mess) is it to empty the coffee from the coffee maker on the rare occasions that there is leftover coffee?

Not difficult at all! If you are looking at the picture, the water reservoir section opens to the right. The other main top part opens backwards like a lid. You pop out the coffee basket (easy) and then the entire top silver part that is showing above the display comes right out.

Very easy. The part where the coffee ends up has a little handle on it that you can lift the entire unit out and just dump. It almost looks like a little bucket so it's very easy to dump any leftover coffee and rinse it out.

It's not difficult at all. You just lift up the reservoir by the handle and empty it. Just be careful to let the reservoir cool a little bit. I've emptied it while it's still hot and although it works. you need to be careful.

There is a coffee vat that you just lift out and empty, very light weight. It has to be washed by hand because of the heating mechanism in the bottom - tiny and not at all cumbersome. No wires. No mess.

at the bottom of coffee maker there are 2-wells that water fills up in [condensation] that unless dumped out every other day spills over on to counter

There is a portable tank with a handle inside the coffee maker that holds the coffee. Therefore, you don't have to tilt or turn the entire coffee maker upside down to empty. All you have to do is take the "holding tank" out of the machine by the handle, and empty and rinse out. Easy as pie. Hope this helped.

It is very easy, just lift up the bucket, pour down sink and rinse or wash. my only complaint is it condensates inside from the heat. still like using it.

It could be removed but that would damage it. It's not made to be removed. It is a last filter before coffee flows into the cup but not absolutely necessary to operation of the machine.

I do not get grinds, but I do get dust from the coffe if it's ground to fine. I suggest using medium to coarse ground coffee if you can, otherwise, you can make a filter from a regular coffee filter and insert it before the basket is put in. I have not experienced any problems with the coffee maker form any detritus I have experienced.

No; it comes with a small black basket; you drop a disposable filter into the basket & then add your coffee; you can buy a reusable basket as an option from Amazon; I personally like being able to just drop the used filter into the trash; less mess!

I put in 320ml of water, 20g of coffee and get about 250ml (8oz) of brew out of it. That's about all you can get in there without making a mess.

I use it every morning, however, didn't actually need to clean it, as yet - I usually leave beans in the top compartment and grind only as much coffee as I need, discard any leftovers. The grinder is still works well and looks great. I would probably use a brush, if I had to clean it (inside).

It is an easy answer. Just put the coffee in it and close it. Depend upon how you want it you put a little or a lot of coffee in it. Never fill it to the top. �

I clean mine by rinsing or with the little brush every day. It only takes seconds to rinse or brush. Sometimes there are leftover coffee beans or a little build up of grounds. I have a friend who had one for 6 years and he told me to give it a quick rinse when I put in new beans. Pretty easy.

I just use hot water and a touch of dish soap. Then put the cap back on and give it a vigorous shake and dump. Then keep refilling halfway with hot water and capping/ dumping until the water empties clean. No problems with that. Just make sure to clean it after your done with the coffee so you don't go to fill it up the next day and find a surprise in there. ;)

Wipe the inside with a cleaner. Turn roaster and it cleans itself. Take side cover off and vacuum the dust and coffee particles.

You just have to clean the chute once a week and you should be fine. The chute gets clogged from the oily coffee beans and if you don't clean it out, then the coffee grounds have no where to go, backing up into the grinder, which buts added stress on it, potentially burning it out. I've had my machine for many years without a problem. I love it.

Mix it in some water before you put in coffee maker. Fill maker up with water after you pour in your cleaner. It took 2 packs for me to get mine good and clean, but one pack will do if your maker isn't very dirty.

Yes this maxhinegri DS the coffee and the grounds are stored in a cup for disposal. And yes there is a water drip tray that holds the excess water to be emptied later.....thx Jack

It was hard to get out.. Had to force it. Even with that filter, I found the cup with many coffee grounds in it so used a Melita type coffee filter for it.(perhaps a courser grind would help) I finally decided it was too much work for one cup of coffee and went back to my 12 cup and keep it in the fridge to reheat by cup in the microwave each morning. I will keep it for when I get the urge to use it, which I feel will not be that often.

That is too long. For half a pot of coffee it only takes me about 4 to 5 minutes. Maybe it needs to be cleaned? I try to clean mine every couple of weeks with white vinegar and water. I have 6 coffee drinkers in my household and we probably make 2 to 3 pots a day. So I do like to clean it often. Also I use a permanent filter and clean it more often.

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

Cleaning isn't hard. It's breeze,but I don't think it keeps coffee hot as long as they say. It looks just like one that is more expensive. I'll bet the more costly one is made better,maybe vacuum walls or something.
