This is such a beautiful, sleek, and slender coffee maker. I like how there isn't a hot plate under the carafe, but an insulated container instead so it doesn't drip on a hot plate. It is a little intimidating to use at first and I am not sure of what the daily clean-up routine is yet. The coffee filters are cone shaped instead of the standard circle. I received this product for free to review. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
