We are a few a weeks in and absolutely loving having the Braun BrewSense Coffee Maker in our lives.  Our previous coffee maker was 14 years old, served us well but it was time to part ways.  We now wish we had done so sooner. The coffee maker has a great variety of useful features, but is at the same time is extremely user friendly and intuative.  I love that you can adjust brew strength, temperature, the charcoal filtration system, and of course, the ability to program so your coffee ready and waiting when you rise in the morning. From our first cup we noticed was the flavor is 100 times better than when the same brand of coffee brewed in our old maker.  What a difference!   As an added bonus, the style is attractive, the size is perfect, and it looks great in our kitchen.  We definitely recommend Braun's BrewSense.
