My husband and I drink at least 2 cups of coffee each every day. This pot worked okay in the beginning. The buttons were sticking even when I pulled it out of the box, but I figured that might go away with some use. Six months later and they still stick. Not a big deal, I can overlook that. Last week my husband went to grab his cup of coffee...and it was cold. The burner went out. I tried to run a new pot and the water wouldn't run through. I'm a little irritated. Up until this point, I was happy with this pot! If you're okay with spending the money and then needing to replace this pot in 6 months, then go for it. Otherwise? I'd spend a little more on something that is going to last.
