I am a huge coffee drinker it's what keeps me going through the day, I like my coffee hot and my wife and daughter like iced coffee. This coffee pot is awesome because it has many features, I can make coffee over ice, I can make it light even make it bold and their is a water feature which is awesome because most days my wife enjoys a nice cup of tea! It even has a clean button and a auto button which makes it easy for me when I'm running late in the morning. This is by far the best coffee pot I have ever had.
