Rating : - RTFM - works as advertised!
I purchased this coffee maker from the Amazon Marketplace for around $75. I read all of the bad reviews, but took a chance. I am very happy with this machine. It works exactly as advertised, as long as you read the manual. It is not just "plug and play" for lack of a better term.

It does not leak or make messes like others have stated. The carafe keeps coffee hot for at least an hour after brewing (probably more, but I haven't tried it) and the "small-brew" settings work very well. So far, mine has kept time perfectly, which is another of the common complaints in the reviews. I guess people are either dumb, or got defective units.

The only con (and this is totally subjective) is the aesthetics. It's not my favorite looking machine, but I knew that when I bought it so it's not right to complain. At over $100 less than the mt500, it is a steal.
