This was a disappointing purchase and I did not keep it.  Fairly expensive, but coffee very quickly gets cold and the unit is only a 4-cup unit if the cups are very small.  More like 1.5 mugs worth of coffee.  I also found it difficult to fill the reservoir without spilling some of the water.  I wouldn't recommend this coffee maker; there are better values for the price.  The only good feature is that it is fairly attractive on the counter.
