This is the coolest coffee maker ever! My husband and I are huge coffee and tea drinkers, and this system has been an absolute game changer for us. It's nice and sleek without taking up too much room on the counter and is very easy to set up. It brews coffee with good speed and keeps it hot for hours thanks to the adjustable carafe temperatures that ensures coffee is hot and ready. I love the programmable auto brew and that it has a 1 to 12 cup setting for days I don't need a full pot. The hot water feature is so convenient, and I appreciate the fact that there is a lock/unlock option for the hot water part because I have young children. It also comes with a reusable filter, which is so helpful and clean up is so fast and easy. My family loves this machine as it serves all of us, and it's also very nice to look at. This coffee maker would also make a great holiday gift!
