I was so excited to receive this coffee machine and as expected, it was beautiful. Unfortunately it does not function as great as it looks. Pros: 1. Aesthetically beautiful 2. Very quiet 3. Brews coffee to the best of its taste. Cons: 1. The base doesn't heat up, so coffee doesn't stay warm for too long (even at the 205 degree temp). 2. The drip nozzle has to be pushed in manually in order to put the pot back on the base. 3. The weekly brew feature does not work. 4. I cannot get it to sync up to Alexa for the life of me. 5. Not all the water makes it out of the reservoir so you'll have to add more water to compensate for the loss, and if you want to remove the left over water, you'll have to unplug and turn the whole unit upside down leaving you to have to set the clock all over again each time. For this price it should not have these many flaws.
