Improved Our Home Coffee experience Greatly. Wanted better coffee flavor at home and this coffeemaker did that. I knew our coffee wasn't hot enough from our old drip maker. The coffee from this machine is noticeably Hotter, and so more flavor extracted, and "No Bitterness".  This coffeemaker is only 8 Cups.  That is the only problem we have had with it. We are used to a 10 Cup brewer.
