This coffee machine makes the perfect cup of coffee.  The carafe keeps the coffee hot for hours and makes for easy refills for this tired mom of 3.  My husband programs it to be ready when he's awake at 5 am, and by the time I'm up at 7 am, my coffee is ready to pour so I can focus on making breakfast and packing lunches.  The slim shape and sleek look of the machine fits nicely in our kitchen with our other appliances. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
