We love this coffee maker! I do wish you could fill the reservoir completely and choose to only make a few cups of coffee. What in the reservoir is how much coffee or makes... but that's a minor complaint. It would just be nice to fill the reservoir with 12 cups and get 2 x 6 cups instead of filing each time. 
Otherwise, this thing is awesome! It doesn't take up much space. The coffee really does taste fresh 4 hours later. This machine is well worth the convenience of being able to brew coffee for my husband on his way to work and it stays fresh for me when I get up. Set it up the night before or after you finish your coffee that morning.
