I love that this coffee maker has a warming plate that you can use three different temperature settings based on your personal preferences. The 24 hour timer allows you to set it and have coffee ready when you want it.  Nothing smells better that a nice pot of hot coffee brewing first thing in the morning.  If you can't wait for the whole pot to brew, this has a nice pause feature when you pull out the pot.  You can even turn the tone off if you don't like hearing it.  It also has an external water level which makes it so much easier to see how much water you are putting in the reservoir.  The fast brew cycle is great for when you don't have much time but still want a cup of hot coffee.  The cord storage on the back of the machine is a nice added feature,
