I found the oxo 9 cup coffee maker to be aesthetically pleasing. It has a sleek design that goes with almost any decor. It looks absolutely gorgeous sitting in my kitchen. It is also the first coffee maker I own with a digital clock display. This is both a pro and a con. I like that it keeps me on track before heading to work however I find it a nuisance that I have to reset the clock every time the coffee maker is unplugged. 

Regarding the coffee brewing itself, this coffee maker is excellent. It brews the coffee at a consistent temperature and the carafe keeps it nice and warm. Watching the coffee brew is also a bit entertaining as you watch the water move up from one chamber to another. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
