I really like this coffee maker. It makes great coffee that is nice and hot. I also love that I can brew a single cup without those stupid pods. I only thing that I really, REALLY don't like is that the thermal carafe doesn't keep the coffee hot. It will stay warm for maybe 20-30 minutes. I hoped that it would keep it nice and hot for at least an hour or two.  Not even close.  
If you can redesign the carafe to keep coffee hot like a thermos, I would gladly buy it. Please consider this because it would tremendously improve the product. (5 Stars)
