I don't really care to much about this coffee maker because the coffee is not very hot at all I will say it is easy to use but that does not make it a good coffee maker I don't like my coffee boiling hot but I do like my coffee hot I can fix a cup of coffee and  go to the restroom and come back to the dinning room and my coffee is barely warm and then I have to heat it up in the micowave to get it hot so to me that is not a very good coffee maker.sorry
