DCM2500 12-Cups Coffee Maker

It is impossible to clean this coffee maker. The grounds basket gets very nasty, and is grooved, which makes it awkward to get clean. The carafe has a piece of plastic that the lid is mounted to, that somehow captures coffee underneath it. Even after washing the carafe, old coffee still drips out from under it. There is also a metal band around the carafe base that mysteriously catches coffee in the same way. The maker is so bad, that it's kind of a final joke that pouring coffee out of the carafe is like using a dribble glass. No matter how carefully you pour, coffee still drips on the counter!
