This 9-cup coffee maker was so easy to set up. The directions were easy to follow and before I knew it I was making a whole pot of coffee in no time. I love how there is only one button on the front of the coffee maker. It makes it so simple and it's less confusing. The wake up timer to automatically start in the morning works like a charm and is a lifesaver. I also really love that the pot keeps the coffee very hot for a long period of time! It's super easy to clean and looks perfect in our kitchen!!! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
