We have been using this for a couple weeks now and so far really like it! Every feature so far makes great coffee. A few things I have noticed is for the price it would be nice if it came with the reusable coffee filter like the other models and also when I wash the glass carafe in the dishwasher upside down water actually gets in around the black rim around the top so when you flip it over it goes all over your clean coffee pot..this is actually really annoying and I wish they sealed that better. Other then those 2 things the coffee is good so far!
