Beautiful coffee maker. Stylish looking, looks great on counter. I'm not bulky. Many features on this coffee maker. From classic brew to rich flavor. Even though this holds 14 cups, you can brew as little as 1-4. LOVE the removable back water. Similar to a certain single cup machine with easy to read lines how much water is in it. Can fill all the way just like single serve but use the 1-4 cup brewing cycle numerous times before you would have to refill the water. Different temps for warming plate, as well as time length. Permanent filter. Easy to clean. Makes a 10 cup pot in roughly 5 minutes. Comes with coffee scoop attached to top of lid. With a chart inside book how many scoops of coffee to use. Our preference has been to use 1 less than it recommends. Awesome design. Nothing negative about this. Timer easy to read. Has a cleaning button that I have not had to use just yet.
