Design: very practical and looks good on the counter. This machine can use Pods as well as regular filters with a swap of the basket. The unused basket stores nicely on the back of the unit. The measuring spoon also store on the unit which is really nice and intentional.

Function: Very intuitive. I usually just fill the removable tank all the way every morning. You have multiple selections of filling. From single cup to full pot. It even has a ice coffee selection in which you fill the carafe up with ice before hand and brew into it. I have used that function as I don't drink Iced coffee but seem pretty simple. 
The drip stop is nice. Most the "auto stop" ones still drip after removing the carafe, but this actually works. 
The unit also has delay and brew strength function as well.

Overall I'm really pleased with the product
