I really like this basic coffee maker. It is perfect for a college dorm or small apartment. It does everything a basic coffee maker does. The one thing I really like about it is that when I pour my coffee doesn’t spill. I have had a lot of trouble with coffee makers like this that always spill all over the counter when you pour it. We are very happy with this. The coffee is super hot when it is freshly brewed and it brews a whole pot in less than 10 minutes.
