I love having my coffee first thing in the morning but I don’t have a lot of time to make it. This coffee maker helps me save time by programming it to brew. If I forgot to set it at night the sneak-a peak feature is great because I can always sneak a cup of coffee while it is still brewing. I don’t have to wait for the brewing process to finish. The carafe and brew basket can easily be washed in the dishwasher so it is very easy to wash. It is a great coffee maker that gets the job done.
