So after my kids somehow melted the front of our Keurig. I was really in need of a new coffee maker. This one looked so cool! It looks like a cross between a french press and a coffee pot!. No more little plastic cups in the trash. One pot of not to hot not to cold coffe for my whole house. Given that the first people up start the pot at 5am and the last person is up at 7am its all still hot. We haven't tried to make the cold coffee yet because its cold and snowy here. But thats the plan for summer! I can't wait to make cold coffee to drink when its 90 out. I would so get more of these for family members. When your a coffee drinker and you like hot and cold this is the pot for you.
