I love that this coffee pot is stainless steel and goes with the rest of my appliances. I love that the carafe keeps my coffee warm for longer periods of time. Setting it up to program for a certain time is so simple to do and makes for an easy morning. Even throughout the day I am able to start the pot and it has the ability to be stopped so I can enjoy a cup before it has finished. Also I love the fact that it is cool to the touch and I don't have to worry about my kids getting burned. Over all I'm very satisfied with the quality and time that was put into making this coffeemaker.
