The style of this coffee maker, starting with the packaging and continuing to every detail screams style and modern.  From the rope handles on the box, to the steel and copper details on the machine, you feel that you are in for a high quality experience from the moment you open the box.  The experience continues as you utilize the smart features and have your first cup.  There are preprogrammed settings, and you can choose your strength and temp, and it can maintain the flavor and temp if you are not immediately drinking after brewing.  It takes a little effort to get the hang of the controls, but it is an investment well worth it!
