I like the simplicity, the speed, the taste. The well that holds the filters is a little deep for tidy adding of ground beans, but I'm experimenting and also rinse out the filter holder before making another pot; I haven't pre-heated the carafe, but might consider that. I like the one-cup feature a lot and the lack of technology. I'd like a bigger version to make more coffee at once, but it's easy to make another pot.
