I love this easy to use, uncomplicated, simple coffee pot.  The carafe is easily placed in and removed and it takes up very little space on the countertop.  It does not have that aggravating timed shut off either.  It makes plenty of coffee with no complications.  The only thing that I do not like is that it does not have a filter of any kind when you open it.  I wish it came with a reusable one, but those are easily purchased.
