WORST COFFEE MAKER EVER

My husband and I received this coffee maker as a wedding gift in September. We were excited to be getting a "good" coffee maker finally. We have gone through 3 brew baskets in 4 months - the spring isn't strong enough to close off the drip spout, so when you pull the coffee pot out, the coffee continues to drip all over if you want a cup mid-cycle. The hinge on the lid has broken, and we are not rough people! When I wrote to Kitchenaid the last time, I was informed that they have decided to discontinue their coffee maker line, and will reimburse me my purchase price.
