Depending on lighting conditions, it's sometimes difficult to see how much water has been put into the reservoir of a coffeemaker.
I propose adding a small light inside the coffeemaker, shining down on the surface of the water being shown in the reservoir's window.

I'm not sure if this is relevant, but many kettles have a light
like this. The light is usually in the water rather than above
it. |

I have had difficulty seeing the water level too, but I
wonder if the cost of adding a light might make the
cost of the coffee maker too expensive. Hence
maybe
a little penlite swinging from the barrel, affixed by
duct tape and string might be in order? |

Put some coffee grains in the water. Then it will show up better against the scale. |

I think that a miniature buoy, with a bell and flashing light,
should be crafted for that purpose. |

Martha Stewart advice coming from 8th. Never, ever
thought I'd see the day. Good little tip there 8th of 7.
Pretty good little tip. |

I think he might be playing a joke [blissmiss]. Placing grounds in the reservoir would end up plugging the intake I would think. |
|
|
I like the idea but isn't it just easier to fill it from the pot itself so you know how much you are filling it in the first place? |
|
|
You would use logic and rational advice to critique an
idea, would you...you...you...brainiac you! |

Further to [2 fries with the long username]'s point, I have noticed that the amount of water in the reservoir is nearly the same as the amount that was in the carafe right before I poured it into the reservoir. Close enough, at any rate. |
