I spent lots of time researching coffee pots and we found one that we could look at a near by store who had it in stock. Looked at it even though i wasn't supposed to open the box. I knew than this was it as my wife agreed. As of now it makes the best coffee and i also bought the supreme grind automatic burr mill . Excellent products for the making of real good tasting coffee and so easy to use. Give these two products {a look see} Roy
