Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This thing is seriously defective! I almost never leave negative reviews on Amazon, but I really feel like people should know about the fact that this coffee maker can injure you if you are not careful! As you can see from the product photo, the little red "on/off" button is on the side, at the bottom. Yesterday, the coffee had finished brewing so I reached to turn the coffee maker off. Right at that moment, the coffee maker made a loud "psssshhhhh" noise and spewed steam out the top. It literally felt like something bit me! The steam burned my arm so badly that my skin peeled almost instantly. A photo of my injury is attached as proof. I am just glad my 2 year old wasn't around. Please fix this design flaw before selling this coffee pot to anyone else! 7/16/2016 **UPDATE** It's been about a year since I posted this review and I'm still getting comments. I would like to clarify that a coffee maker which appears to have a strong seal should actually be sealed to avoid injury to ones skin or eyes. This is not an unreasonable assessment. And while I'm at it, I'd like to recommend the Mr. Coffee 4 cup coffee maker instead of this one. It's given me no trouble at all and makes a great small pot of coffee. To all of the haters, thank you for boosting my photo and helping me raise awareness. Enjoy your morning coffee!
