This Braun coffee maker is great.Very appealing to the eye.When I received it, I was in awe.I was trying to figure out how to set the clock,until the directions said it must be turned on to set the clock.Silly me.What I love most about this coffeemaker is the button that lets me decide on the strength of my coffee,and other coffeemakers do not have this.And I love the fact that I get to add my coffee in the filter and have it set to be brewed when I get up.Another feature that is cool is it has a filter and it lets me know when it needs to be changed.This coffeemaker is a reputable brand that I highly recommend to those wanting a great looking product that is appealing to the eye,and makes such delicious coffee
