I really love using my Mr coffee five cup coffee maker. I like that you're able to have the time on it. You can also program it to make coffee at whatever time you want. Me I have an alarm on it that makes coffee for me so when I wake up in the morning my coffee is freshly made. I also like that it has two options to Brew now or Brew later. One of the most important things when it comes to coffee is that it stays hot. This coffee maker definitely leaves my coffee hot I've tried other coffee makers that just leave the coffee warm. I also really like that there is a side view so you're able to see how much water into the coffee maker. I also really like that it has a big top on top where you're able to at the water and the filter. I leave this in my truck and take it into hotels with me, as I am very particular on my coffee and I do not like what most hotels have to offer and this is a good size to have.
