So far so good. I wanted a coffee maker that I didn’t have to pull out from under my cabinet to fill with water or put in the coffee grounds. This one dose just that. It takes a bit of effort to securely close the coffee filter holder. I like that it has a setting for 1-4 cups since I’m the only one that drinks coffee and I only make about 2 cups. It makes the coffee very hot. I just leave it in my travel mug with the lid off while get ready for work to let it cool down, so Incan drink it on my way to work. It doesn’t feel very heavy duty but seems to do the job just fine.
