I already had two great coffee makers and did not need a third. However, when I saw this one come out I really wanted to test it and compare to the others. Luckily, a friend purchased it and allowed me to borrow for a few days.

I have really put this coffee maker to the test with various coffee styles, hot and iced tea, and even made instant soup, oatmeal and grits using the hot water feature.
To make a long story short. The coffee has much better flavor than my old machines and is much more versatile. This could easily replace both of them.

I think I need to upgrade and get one for myself. My friend wants his back,.
