It is just an average coffee pot. It is on the cheaper end as coffee pots go so you get what you pay for. It takes about 10 minutes to brew a pot of coffee but it brews good coffee and I love the programmable auto feature.I will not purchase a coffee pot without that feature!  I can't give it five stars because no matter how slow I pour the water in the pot, it never fails to leak from the top of the glass pot.
