This is a great little coffee maker. Not a lot of bells and whistles, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. I do love the Sneak-A-Cup feature because sometimes I just can't wait for the whole pot to brew LOL!  I was a little worried about the flimsiness of the lid but no problems so far. It has a smaller footprint than most 12 cup coffee makers and fits under my cabinets nicely.
