I've had this coffee maker for a couple of weeks and so far I really like it. The Mr. Coffee 25oz mini Brew makes really good coffee and it's easy to use. The timer for it is simple. I wouldn't have even needed the instructions to learn how to set it. It's wonderful to wake up to freshly brewed coffee. It truly is a mini brew- it's good for about 2 cups of coffee for me. I like the auto shut off and water filtration system on it as well.
