We just wanted great coffee from a simple one-button coffee maker.  THIS IS IT!  Well designed for simplicity and because the filter sits atop the carafe, (instead of being attached to where the water exits), there is no residue build-up to wipe off from where the water sprays out.  Also, the filter top allows the water to saturate the grounds due to its refreshingly innovative design instead of just providing one little drip hole.  There is a built in water filter that needs to be replaced in the first year depending upon how much daily coffee you brew.  WELL DESIGNED!  Flavorful and hot coffee!  Barely any effort to wash filter basket and carafe to keep them clean.

Pros: GOOD COFFEE FROM A SIMPLE, INNOVATIVE DESIGN
Cons: If you didn't want a built-in replaceble filter included, BUT WHY WOULDN'T YOU?!  Better water to start.
