I will start out by saying I love the look of this coffee pot it goes perfectly  with my stainless steel appliances.  I also like that you can see just about every inch of it makes it easy to clean. The coffee pot came with everything  I needed from filters a filter holder and a coffee scoop. The coffee taste delishes and the buttons are easy to reach. The bonus is the coffee has the option for iced coffee and since we are a house divided when it comes to hot and cold this was perfect.  Note you do have to empty the filter before pouring a cup but they added a handle to the basket for it.
