First let me say I love that the pot doesn't get hot and you can touch or grab it when the coffee it's first made. Love that it stays hot for 2 hours at the same temperature. Just wish you could warm it up if you still have some left over after that 2 hours. Easy to set up timer for it to make coffee at a certain time in the day for you l. Easy to clean worth buying. Also after it's done brewing you can take it with you seeing how the thermal isn't hot on the outside of it. Which is great for me because I'm a nurse and always on the run and need my coffee.
