I absolutely love this coffee maker. I love the sleek design and it looks nice on my counter top-without having bright obnoxious colors on the clock. The metal carafe keeps my coffee hot and fresh for hours. The actual coffee making time doesn’t take long at all and I love the removable washable filter. The only design flaw that I finally figured out was the lid to the crate. It just took me a couple of tries to realize that the notches line up to seal it. Other than that, I am very pleased!
