Sleek and modern looking, this coffee maker has some great features.  The elevated reservoir with the measurement markings on the front makes it easy to measure the right amount of water. The insulated carafe keeps the coffee hot and is attractive too. The unit is tall so it does not fit well underneath an upper cabinet. The instructions call for the unit to be run with just water the first time but I would recommend doing it twice. Great tasting coffee. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
