This coffee maker has it all! I can make a full pot of coffee or just 1 cup. I like that I can set the time for brewing and when I wake up my coffee is ready for me. The stainless steel carafe keeps the coffee nice and hot for hours. I also like that I can store the cord in the back of the pot when unplugged. This coffee maker is beautiful and really stands out on my countertop. I love it!
