I bought 3 times this coffee maker and every time stopped working after 15 months, just after the warranty expired 😩

It worked well for 1 year and half and then ceased to work in the middle of brewing. Before I had kept for around 40 years a Breville drip filter coffee machine very similar in function. So this "modern" drip coffee machine now is out of warranty and all I can do is dispose of it and buy another one. Things are simply not made as good as they used to. Is that progress? I think not. By the way the old one kept the coffee hotter than this one and for hours until you turned it off. It is hard to tell this if the poor quality is the result of planned obsolescence in the design stage or poor quality control from manufacturer but I am getting tired of playing lottery with appliances, you just never know if your new appliance is a going to fail you right after the warranty time or it will last like it should

I have had this coffee machine for 9months now, it's not the best machine I have had. The machine has 4 buttons, though mainly for setting hour, minutes, one button for start/timer. Yes, you can preprogram for the machine to start later, though the button is continuously flashing, which is very annoying. The lid is a flimsy plastic and doesn't always seem to close properly, like it warped. Coffee only stays warm for 2hrs, does not have a timer indicator. Our machine now is starting to have issues of the water not pumping through (works by gravity). We have tried everything to get working. I do prefer the Specialty Brew Drip Filter Coffee machine - PC8100 model, which I had previously.
