This is an amazing coffee maker. The glass carafe keeps the coffee nice and hot.  The programmable clock allows me to not only have the time. But also to have coffee ready when i get out of bed. It has a feature called sneak a cup which allows me to get a cup of coffee while brewing.  It has a easy view to see the water reservoir. The only thing it is missing is a reusable filter basket. Which i will definitely pick up.
