So I am not a big coffee drinker, but my husband is. So we got this coffeemaker and we were trying it out, and it is so awesome! I like it because it is really easy to clean! And it is dishwasher safe. My husband said it makes great cup of coffee. The carafe has nice caps markings, so you know how many cups you are making if you have guests, etc. it has brew selector, so you can change the strength of your brew- real nice feature. There is a feature where you can pour your first cup and then continue with brewing the rest. I like the handle on the carafe, it is ergonomic and easy to hold, even when the carafe is full. It is pretty, not too big. I love everything about it
