In the morning I am pressed for time, but this coffee definitely helps me get everything done on time. The auto brew function is phenomenal! I can set it the night before and full my coffee basket  so my coffee is ready when I am ready for breakfast. It was very convenient not to have to run to the store to get filters as it came with them and I was able to worry about them at a later time. Very convenient markings for the water level and markings on the carafe to know how much it made for me. After breakfast it’s still nice and warm so I’ll have a cup for my drive to work.
