I used this coffee maker for about a week before this review. The one thing that I absolutely love is that the coffee maker has a reusable filter. YAY! I don't have to remember to buy more disposables. I can just wash it out and reuse. It is a simple on and off switch to make coffee. The only down side is that the coffee doesn't stay hot enough. It is pretty cooled down. As a mom that never gets to finish her coffee when it is hot, I would at least like a sip while it is. I found that this is better to brew my tea with.
