I got this and started setting it up per the directions. If you are one to simply follow directions and not ask questions, you'll be fine. But I'm always questioning because if I don't immediately understand, then I need to understand before proceeding. The directions indicate to fill the tank until water starts coming out of the funnel. The next step then states to put the amount of water you want for your coffee. To me, this came across as a futile step. If I just put water in until it came through the funnel, why would I keep doing it?What the directions do not clarify is that once the inside tank is full (until the water comes out the funnel), it is ready to be heated and used for brewing. The next step is to pour in the amount of water you want for your batch of coffee because that water you pour in will displace the same amount that's already heated in the tank, and replace it so that you have a 100 capacity supply for your next batch. So this is really just an explanation for those with my type of brain. I had to go find a youtube video that actually explained how this machine worked so that I could move forward lolHaving said that, I really like this machine. We came from a pod style unit and decided we were done with that dreadfully slow setup. This unit brews instantly and once we got the grounds:water ratio right (we do 3/4 cup of grounds to 6 cups of water) we have been enjoying the hell out of it.
