Overall this is a fairly good coffee maker. It does make a nice strong tiny pot of coffee. The flavors are nice and Rich and it does not take long to brew. I've had issues the first time I booted up to get it to work with me where I had to unplug it and do it again and it finally worked. I also had issues with the clock display not wanting to work but after rebooting that I got it working again. But the coffee brewing system itself I had zero issues with. it takes a little bit longer than your average coffee maker but I believe that's the way that it drips into the pot. It does make a better cup of coffee versus your standard 12-cup coffee brewer. It tastes a lot more fresh, rich, and robust. I hope Douglas last as long time as my husband and myself enjoy the flavor it produces. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
