What a Disappointment
I bought this to replace the older version which was one of the best coffee makers I've owned. What a disappointment.
For starters, they replaced a lot of the sturdy metal parts with that flimsy foul smelling plastic that you now find in many products from China. It has a strong chemical odor that fills your kitchen (it is still strong after a few days and gets worse when the water heater is running).
Also, if you like to use fine grounds or make strong coffee, you're going to run into problems with overflowing. This is because the spray head is way too strong. First time I ran it, I had coffee grounds and water all over my kitchen. To solve the problem, you have to actually order another part from Bunn that restricts the flow of water (you can get around this by wetting the filter prior to brewing but it doesn't always work).
Gave it 2 stars because it stills makes a decent pot of coffee when it works.
