Does the job nicely. Looks good and makes a nice pot of coffee. Pours well into the cup without drips and without holding on the lid. I didn't NEED a new coffeemaker, but liked this one and decided to replace my glass pot maker...and glad i did. The 'old' maker was only a year old and went to the local thrift store. I'm high maintenance on all things pertaining to my coffee and this coffeemaker checks all the boxes.
