I use this coffee pot every morning. It brews pretty fast and is very simple and easy to use. The black finish is also very nice and sleek. It is very easy and fast to fill the coffeemaker with water and coffee from the top. It is a very basic coffeemaker that does not have any extra buttons and does not have a digital display but that is not necessary if you are brewing a cup of coffee each day in the morning and do not have a problem starting it each time. The simple design lends itself to easy clean up. The maker is also not very loud so it does not disturb anyone else in the house. Overall, a great easy-to-use simple coffeemaker.
