    CLEANING: Not very easy to clean, based on overall accessibility of parts and disassembly and reassembly needed.

     

    CARAFE HANDLING: The carafe was fairly easy to use, based on how comfortable we found its handle, whether it dripped while pouring, its overall balance when full, and how hard it was to empty.
