I was so excited about getting this.. I have a really nice expensive coffee maker . My mom compains it doesn't keep hot very long ..SOOO. We got this one well we plugged it up immediately and made coffee. Well needless to say she was not impressed at all. As soon as she poured it up aand poured cream and sugar in it.  It was luke warm. So she made a whole pot this morning and same thing . Yes its cute.and seems logical for someone who doesn't drink a lot of coffee . I wouldn't recommend it if you like hot ..However its perfect for iced coffee. and I love iced coffee since it doesn't get very hot you can make 5 cups 1 cup [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
