This is a very nice coffee brewer. I only have one cup of coffee in the morning and this is perfect. I like that the water reservoir is removable so I can take it to my sink to fill it up.  I think that the shower head and permanent filter is great because my coffee is not bitter and it is very convenient to use. I also love that the filter keeps the coffee grounds out of my coffee cup ! I have had a nice cup of hot coffee every morning and that is very important to me.
