I Recieved  this coffee pot, and I absolutely love it.  It has a modern design. And it has 2 cycles , regular brew and strong brew. I was hesitant about the strong brew cycle, but not anymore. This coffee pot makes the most delicious coffee. The strong brew option is perfect!!   The smart brew has added features as well ...A timer function to set to brew for whenever your ready for your coffee . A auto shut off after a certain amount of time. Two cycles.. regular and strong brew. And it even tells you when the system needs to be cleaned. I can't  say enough about this coffee pot!! It's  absolutely fantastic, and makes delicious coffee. If your looking for a coffee pot , give this one a try, you  won't be disappointed!!
