This is a standard coffeepot, very to setup and use out of the box. I used it a handful of times and it always brews quickly and leaves me with a steaming hot cup of coffee just like any of the higher end pots.

There aren't any confusing settings, or a ton of buttons to mess anything up. You put your water and coffee in and turn it on, minutes later it's done and you can get the caffeine that we all crave so much.

The only downside of this pot is that it is taller than standard, my daughter accidentally knocked the pot off the counter and broke it and a standard replacement pot doesn't reach the button to release the coffee from the pot so if you break it you will have to go and order a new pot specifically for this unit. 

Overall, a nice looking, and good working system. I would definitely get another if I were in the market for a new coffee pot. Great performance that won't break the bank.
