This review is from: Viking 12-Cup Coffee Maker
So it was either the Viking or the Technivorm. The Technivorm was a little to funky for me plus it had no features. I went with the Viking and couldn't be happier. I'm not sure what other people are talking about with carafe ill fiting and noise and leaking carafe?

Yes - the carafe DOES fit tight under the basket, IT'S SUPPOSE TO. There is absolutely no steam from this thing when it's brewing because not one bit of heat excapes during the brewing process.
Yes - you can't pour it Very fast but then neither could my Capresso and I have yet to spill a drop of coffee.
Noise? I can faintly hear the pump during the brewing but I would hardly call it loud and gargling. Maybe they didn't prime it correctly?

I had 2 capresso's before this and the Viking by far makes the hottest pot of coffee I have ever had plus it keeps the coffee hot for hours.
The only thing I can say I dislike a little is the side entry water and basket. I have mine in a corner so I have to pivot the maker every time I fill the water and load the basket but, I knew that before I made the purchase so it would be wrong for me to say it sucks. Having the water and basket via the side is what makes it so clean looking.

I have never owned a Viking appliance before and I don't own any of their stock. Most people don't take the time to write reviews unless they are unhappy (my self-included). I would have never bought my Capresso if I would have went by user reviews. Seems a lot of people were brewing their coffee all over their counter tops. I had mine for 8 years making coffee ever morning and every night and never once brewed a pot of coffee all over the counter top. What I'm trying to say is most issue are human error and nothing else.
