I absolutely love my Hamilton Beach Front Fill Deluxe Coffee Maker. It makes perfect coffee & tea, for tea i just place my tea bags where the filter and coffee goes and turn on. It is very easy to use, the water is easy to pour in and its easy to add the coffee or tea. It is programmable so you can have coffee ready when you need it. It is easy to use & easy to clean. This is great to have at home or give as a gift.
