This works really well. The permanent filter is one of my favorite features. It brews really smooth coffee and with a 50oz reservoir, much larger than most, it allows both my husband to have tea and me to have coffee for a few days without refilling. The drip stop is also a great feature for those like me who have little patience waiting for that first cup. It's a very sleek design and fits extremely well on my counter, taking up much less space than my old one. It's also very easy to fill the reservoir from the front so no spills. The clock set was a little confusing, it takes a very gentle touch and you have to hold the button down for a few seconds. Extremely pleased with this machine. 10/10 will use again and again.
