We turned our basement into a living space for guest and my husband suggested this gem! Mr. Coffee machines are a staple in my household and he was right, we needed one downstairs. It has been such an incredible addition for our guest! Easy to view water level, programmable, and auto shut off (this feature is probably more for my peace of mind than our guest)! 10/10 recommend if you don't make large amounts of coffee or want to add to the amenities you offer your guest!
