This is a solid coffee maker. Looks great and does what it’s supposed to do. The carafe is insulated and there is no heating element under it, so coffee stays hot as long as the insulation allows. Which is pretty long- a full carafe lost about 10degrees an hour, and even after 24hrs, the coffee temperature was 98degrees. Coffee brew temperature was 180 degrees. 
Minor issues I had:
Carafe doesn’t seal shut as other insulated carafes do. 
You will need both a bottle cleaning brush and straw brush to clean the carafe and silicone internal mixing tube respectively. 
There is a clicking noise coming from the carafe cap when the coffee is dripping through it. 
The tops of the water tank and brewing tank won’t stay slightly open to allow the interior to dry between brews. (For me, this is more than just a minor issue) [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
