I am loving my new Braun - Pure flavor coffee maker. Carafe holds up to 14 cups and it has a steady tempature warming plate (up to 4 hours) at low, medium or high. It has several settings for making coffee: fast, regular, bold or over ice. This machine makes great tasting coffee and the fast brew system does noticeably make faster coffee than previous coffee makers I've owned. Also, glad this machine has the anti-drip system for when I  grab a cup before the carafe is full. This seems to be a really good, quality coffee maker and I'm very happy with it's performance.
