Finally I have a programmable coffee pot that is easy to use and worked for me with little experience I have with them. I figured installation out without any extra help, besides the instruction manual. The 2 hour shut off feature comes in handy and can be adjusted to your own preferences. I love the fact it has options as to how strong the brew can be. I have been playing around with that and I got it to my own liking and others who drink coffee as well in my household. The size is somewhat larger than I would have wanted for my counterspace but I can make it work with a few slight changes. There is not many cons to this beautiful coffee maker. You also won't need to buy paper filters anymore! That can save you some money there. This coffee maker makes me excited to drink more coffee again. The manual is super helpful and even gives tips on how to brew the best tasting coffee and cleaning tips
