This coffee maker lid opens up from the left hand side. Not really good for me being a left/handed, but I think the idea behind this is so that you dont have to keep moving your coffee maker away from the back wall every time you want to load it. The lid is kinda in my way when I am trying to fill the basket with grounds. My solution was to place this coffee pot on a very small rolling plant holder (about 11X11 inches) with small casters. (also found on ) This way I can rotate the coffee maker around so I can reach it at a better angle. Overall I think this is one of the better coffee makers as far as aesthetics goes! Very good looking faux stainless which is different from most coffee makers. I like that this has a 4 hour warmer on it because some only have a 2 hour keep warm option. And last, my favorite feature is the flip/lid. My previous coffee maker had a pop/off lid and both my husband and I found it to be a pet peeve.
NOT for lefties!
