With its sleek clock and under the cabinet design, this coffee maker would be a great fit for most coffee loving families. My wife doesn't like things hanging out on the counter, so the cord storage function is a nice one. The cord could stand to be an inch or two longer though, it doesn't reach very far. I wish there was a clasp for the water reservoir lid so I didn't have to put it down on the counter while filling it. The time since brewed display is a really nice feature, I can never remember how long it's been sitting of the warmer. Even with the above suggestions, I would still recommend this coffee maker, mostly for the design aesthetic and consistent brewing capability. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
