I like the Braun PureFlavor coffee maker for several reasons. The 14 cup capacity means I don’t have to make a second pot when I have company. The clock is easy to program and easy to see, even under poor lighting. It is nice to have three heat temperature options for the warming plate, though I don’t feel the metal band around the carafe keeps the coffee much warmer. I like having the option of making an iced coffee with the brewing choices. Since I am environmentally conscious, I appreciate the reusable mesh coffee filter that is included. The one disadvantage is the touch screen for the display. They seem difficult to change settings, so I prefer a real button as opposed to a touch screen. I like that all of the components are dishwasher safe. Overall, this brews a good, tasty cup of coffee.
