Mr. Coffee is absolutely the best value coffee maker you can buy that has all of the same features as the expensive coffee makers out there. I really enjoy that you can decide on how many cups he wanted to make depending on if you have company or if it's just one or two folks drinking coffee.  I love the auto start feature of this particular model and that it is already brewed and ready to pour when I wake up. I also like the sleek design and that it is black and matches my kitchen. I recommend this to anyone who likes convenience and value rather than breaking your bank!
