I love the color. that is why I bought it. I had it for 2 months. There is just a tiny plastic piece which hooks over the top of the glass caraf from the handle. no more than 1/2 inch square. this is all that holds the glass carafe onto the top of the pot. It broke off. very dangerous with a whole pot of hot coffee. The bottom of the handle stayed attached but is VERY loose with out the top being attached also..

I bought this coffee maker because of it's color.
I used for 7 months, and then it went dead.
I won't recommend it to anyone...

I've been using this coffee maker for less than a week. It's cute, shiny, and looks very nice on the counter. It makes good coffee. It's simple to use. BUT....This morning, I made coffee as usual, flipped the switch and after a few seconds, the carafe went *pop*, cracked and coffee went all over the counter. I can't find a replacement carafe that fits, because of the awkward shape. I was using plain tap water, not cold water, so there was no rapid temperature change that would explain the cracking. Just crappy construction.

I spent $40 for a week of coffee and now I have to buy another pot. What a waste.

This lil beauty is no cherry on top of any cake. I bought it at BJ's wholesale club because they had a cute little red sunbeam microwave and toaster that matched it (both in terms of quality and color). With the first wash of the carafe, the white numbers that provide the user with the volume of water inside washed off. Then, the top part that allows the machine to close down kept getting stuck and I'd have to reach in and adjust the latch, and then pull back the top part as far as it would go before closing it every single time in order to get it to close properly. To put the icing on the cake (but with no cherry, of course) the carafe was so thin that it broke the first time I tried to put it in the dishwasher. And finally, there was also no automatic turnoff so my recommendation would be to stay away or be very careful...what might end up saving you a buck could lead to an insurance claim on your house, which you may have burned down because you were too sleepy from not having any coffee.

My wife bought this coffee maker in August 2010, now 5 months later (February 2011) it's dead. It turns on- but does not heat up or make coffee.
We had the same problems as others...the little tab that lifts the lid & drip spout together broke off, not a huge problem really, I just opened/closed the parts seperately. I could live with it.
Not making coffee is something I cannot live with.
We suggest people find a different brand of coffeee maker, this one will dissappoint.

When I opened the box up and looked carefully I could see this was a very cheap machine. The glass was so very thin. The plastic was thin, too. The coffee it made was okay, no problem there. It worked for about a month and it went dead. This item should cost about ten dollars, certainly not the 40 plus I paid for it. One should be able to get a fairly well made coffee maker for forty to fifty dollars. Buy something else.
