I love having a cup a coffee in the morning, specially on my way to work. With this coffeemaker, I can program my coffee to be made at a certain time, so that in the morning, I can simply pour it, add cream and sugar and keep going. This is an advantage because I do not have to stop getting ready to work to prepare my coffee.  It was easy to program and the coffee came out good, just the way I like it.  The coffeemaker does not take much space either on my counter.
