I love this coffee maker, it delivers where it counts. The vortex water flow technology is great and guarantees maximum flavor for your coffee. My two favorite things about it is the strong setting which allows you to control the strength of your coffee, and the sneak a cup feature because I'm able to sneak my cup in before everyone else. The timer works really well and helps to insure my coffee will be ready in the mornings when I am and just a few short minutes. Overall I think this coffee maker is great and highly recommend it.
