I love most everything about this coffee maker. It looks GOOD on my counter, is programmable, easy to operate, and has different brew settings, so I can get "almost rocket fuel" (a/k/a ROBUST). The only problem I have with it is the teeny-tiny writing below the buttons. Not a big deal, but still annoying when your eyes are at half-mast and you can't read them and then have to search down the reading glasses. All in all, it's a good purchase.
