I absolutely love this coffee Pot! The one I had before this one was a really old pot which just had a switch to turn it on and off with no programmable features at all. This new pot has programmable features that makes it so much easier! It's not one of those types that has all the different multiple buttons on them so it's a more simplified version. The coffee pot starts quickly and finishes fast also and it doesnt take 15 to 20 mins to make a pot of coffee it's done in 5 to 10 mins if that. I would suggest it to people who prefer the more simplified version of a programmable coffee pot.
