This is a nice coffee machine. There are several things that I do not like. The control panel should be on the very top, or the very bottom, of the coffee unit so that the coffee pot is easily accessible from the left and right. The water container should be able to fill more to actually get 12 full cups of coffee. The hole in the water container, which I believe is to keep you from over filling the container is not high enough. Other than these problems, I like the coffee maker. It makes coffee really quick. During the summer months I use my coffee maker for making tea. I like it very much. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
