Can someone please describe the water reservoir size, shape, access? Rvws have complained it is a small opening but the top lid looks huge in pic. Tx.

Wish I could help. I did buy this coffee machine, but I had to return it as the programming function didn't work. I ended up buying a Cuisinart instead, and I love it.

In terms of access, I just turn the Coffee maker around a little which makes it easier to pour! It's the only access on the inside of the Coffee maker for water and it's an odd shape, the other is where you put your gold filter in an area which is cone shaped! Again it makes excellent coffee, just slightly awkward to pour in the water, but not a big problem!

It is in the right rear. We use the glass coffee carafe to fill it before we make new coffee into the carafe. When the carafe is full, you need to pour slower otherwise the water will spill from the carafe to the counter top. (carafe issue not the coffee maker). You can rest the lip of the carafe on the edge of the coffee maker to help when filling with water. All of our family members use this without issue.

The lid top is large enough but the area that you have to pour the water is a smaller opening and may be difficult depending on what you are using to fill it. My suggestion is to buy something different. Our Krups was away at the service facility more that it was at our house. We sent it away twice for repair. When it failed soon after they fixed it for the second time we bought a Procter Silex for $20 and it is still going strong.

The water reservoir is back right facing the coffee maker. It is small but not difficult of me at least. Most of the top if taken up by the coffee filter.

It appears to be bigger than it is, and while it's not a big opening for water, I still am able to manage and love the taste of the coffee! Just remember to put the gold filter in because a few times we forgot and had a mess on our hands, but that's the fault of brain overload. ;-)

opening is 5" X 7". Light is on an arm that swing up from this space. It is harder than a regular aquarium to get things in and out of and do maintenance with. Also, to get the best effect, the water should be filled to a level that brings it in contact with the top... so less surface area for gas exchange.

Hi the opening is 6 and three quarter inches. I do not know how wide the 3 gallon water is

The entry hole for rainwater is on the top - does have a white screw type lid so you can open/close. MY big problem (and I hear from others) I discovered it leaks at the bottom, so I've had to use some silicone. Also, unlike others, it is NOT under a gutter area to catch the water. That not withstanding? I have hoisted it up on a 3 ft. stand BECAUSE? No way to use the spigot to GET the water into a pail if you don't. Hope this answers MORE than you asked!!! P.

The clear plastic reservoir cube itself has a dimension of 7.25 x 7.25 x 7.25 inches, which is supposed to hold 1.5 gallons. The entire unit dimensions are 7.25 x 8.5 x 11.5 inches. The LED light extends upward for removing the lid.

Gretchen I the 3 gal has a larger opening at the top. This is gust a guess.

Its an oval opening and it is 7" at its widest front to back and side to side, I really like mine, but you do have to clean it regularly, and you really should buy a regulator to cut the water pressure down, I have a regulator on mine and its going on 2 years old. I dont believe it would last very long if you hook it up to house water pressure.

Amy, I was just like you. Pick the water reservoir up and don't try to unscrew or pull off the black top. Turn the water container upside down and screw off the cap on the bottom. It's not a very big opening so I pour the distilled water in over the sink. I hope this helps.

Yes, the water reservoir is in the back, it is a small opening, but I do not have a problem with it. I don't have the thermal pot, though. But I love my Cuisinart grind/brew.

Be very careful not to overfill water reservoir. When the line says the top number of cups (10 or 12 depending on model) - observe this limit. I used to to go over the line thinking I was doing a good thing. I had the same result as you. Also flush the lid occasionally (I do it daily). Just run water through it. It also come apart for a more through cleaning.

don't worry about it too much you may need to check your assembly to make sure you assembled it correctly but it first its very slow to trickle the water through it so be patient . although it should have trickled some water through it in 4 hours so I would check your assembly and call the manufacturer they're really good about answering questions

there is an opening on top, not very big. I have an automatic feeder clipped up top, not very pretty but it works. Every time the feeder turns, it will bang against one of the wall. It is like Pavlovian conditioning all the fishes swim close to the drop point. Anyways I found the filter design for this aquarium is not good enough, so I added Chemipure 5oz pack where the pump is now it works out great! No more cloudy water.

Width top 4.25 inches width bottom 3.25 and height 2.25. As I said seems small in reservoir but works well.

I believe if you put the whole thing in the sump you need and opening (min) 4x6.. I made sump and it's from a 20 gal breeder tank... didn't fit (barely) and the opening is 5.5x12.. so I hung it on the back side like you normally would if using on the tank. I almost prefer having it that way so I can put more crap on the over flow side of the sump. Clears up a lot of space

We had so many issues finding the tiny pin holes at the top that we finally gave up. It gave us almost 3 seasons which seems to be the average. I wish I had some better news for you. We've moved on to the 18 x 48 Intex frame pool this year along with a salt water pump. So far so good. Good luck!

The top is in the shape of an oval. It's not huge so we usually use a funnel to fill it. The widest opening is 4.25" and the narrower side is 3.5".
