Bar none this is my favorite coffee machine of all time!!  I like a very strong coffee and this machine gives me the option to brew my bold coffee at the perfect temperature.  I love the fast brew option, waiting for coffee in the morning is the worst!  The auto on feature is very easy to set up and I use it about four days a week so that when I wake up my coffee is ready and waiting for me. Overall this is a very excellent coffee machine and I highly recommend.
