Really nice coffee maker!  No drip/dribble carafe.  A little extra coffee so my better half and I can each get two full big mugs!  Very nice closure at the top so the cabinet above is not given a steam bath.  Extra time available keeping the coffee warm which suggests a superior hot plate that will not give out.  Love the easy touch screen controls as well.  The more we use it, the more we are glad we bought it!
