I’ve had this coffee maker for about a month, and I love it. A basic maker, but definitely an upgrade from my old pot. It’s very simple to use, and makes delicious full pots of HOT coffee. It brews hot, and it stays hot for two hours. I love that it shows how long since the brew cycle ran—a feature I’ve never seen before. I also like the front-swing basket, and front-access water reservoir. And the carafe doesn’t spill all over the place when I try to pour it, as some do (lol). My one “negative” is that the cord is a little bit short compared to other appliances.
