I love this coffeemaker. I like the classic drip coffee maker but I like that this one has a stainless steel carafe. It keeps the coffee hot for well past the stated time of 2 hours. The carafe has a push button to get the coffee out of the pot so no heat escapes while the coffee sit. I love the counter that lets you know how long the coffee has been sitting for too. It is great to always was a hot, tasty cup of coffee. The Vortex brewing has helped a lot with the flavor and is noticeable from other coffee machines we have tried in the past. This is the best!
