I've had my old Brewstation for 10 years and have loved it. No little, stupid cups to buy or add to our landfills. We bought a new house and decided to upgrade with a new one. Very contemporary looking, and the coffee is made hotter than the old one. I love tye blue lighting. You can keep the coffee hot for your choice of 1 to 4 hours by setting it to desired time. The old one stayed on for 2 hours or until you shut it off. I couldn't believe the price I paid for the item I received. I would buy it again in a second.
