The OXO coffee maker makes a great pot of coffee. It came packaged very nice and was easy to set up. Setting the clock and the auto on function were easy to do even for myself who is not at all tech savvy. As far as appearance this appliance looks great. The stainless and black combination look modern and clean. My coffee tasted great, although I had to experiment with the amount needed. I feel like I need to use less with this coffee pot because of the way the water spreads out over the grounds which is an added bonus. It's not difficult to clean either. This is a great coffee pot.
