This OXO 9-Cup Coffee Maker was really intimidating to use at first because it has all the bells and whistles on it and I'm only used to making coffee in a really basic coffee maker. I was really happy with the easy setup and then how soon after opening the box I was able to brew my coffee. I'm excited about the precise temperature control to always keep the carafe the correct temperature, and the removable rainmaker showerhead to keep coffee grounds saturated evenly, and of course I love the vacuum-insulated carafe with brew-through lid. I'm still testing with all of the different things this coffee maker has, but I am really impressed with it so far! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
