I love the color of this coffee maker in my kitchen, especially with having the other appliances to match. I get a ton of compliments. BUT I do have to say my cheaper coffee pot had a much better performance! I do not have an issue with the coffee it makes, its good. However, there is a constant mess after making a pot! The coffee maker itself drips onto the base after its done brewing. Every time you pour a cup the pot drips all over the place. And the coffee DOES NOT stay hot! There is no way to reheat it - I understand it's supposed to stay hot for 2 hours by closing the top and it's nice to display on the table since the actual pot doesn't get hot. But from the minute you pour your first cup the coffee begins to get cold. I also find it hard to clean, it's white and makes coffee so I get it, but they should have made it dishwasher safe and easy to clean the coffee stains.
