I've been brewing with a French press but as a caregiver for my elderly mom time was becoming an issue in the mornings. I wanted something simple and easy but good as well. After reading a lot of online reviews I pulled the trigger on this and am so glad I did. it's worked flawlessly and easily. I was able to get it going, flush it out and brew my first pot without even opening the manual (but I did read it later). 
It takes a bit of tweaking to get the mix right as far as the scoops go. I prefer much stronger coffee apparently that the creators of this do!
I've made coffee and hot tea and all works great. When warm weather hits I'm gonna' try some cold brew coffee and see how that goes too. It's a tad pricey, but well made and I think it'll hold up indefinitely!
