I have been drinking coffe and have bought other name brands of coffeemakers, but this one has done more then expected. I like the two in one coffemaker and it has made life easier for me. I grind my own coffee and I have experience how great of a taste the coffee comes out. The brewing cycle is excellent and this has been the first time I was happy with the carafe, it does not spill like some other ones I had. I belive that once you buy it, you will enjoy and treasure it forever. Also to have peace of mind that it has a warranty of five years. This is outstanding.
