I thought Kitchenaid Made only good stuff

But then its made by Whrlpool of all things! I know this because there is a recall on this product. I have to admit that this coffeemaker does make a good cup of coffee but then just about all coffee makers do. The hot plate DOES keep the temperature just right. The down side of this product is that the carafe drips when you try to pour coffee no matter how careful you try to be and like a previous reviewer claimed, the spring loaded plunger that is supposed to allow you to remove the carafe while coffee is still brewing doesn't always work. I think that is because occasionally coffee grounds get stuck under the filter paper and work there way down into the little valve that regulates coffee flow.
