This coffee maker does just what the yitle says.  It makes a great cup of coffee.  It looks good, too.  The operating buttons are nicely located and easy to use and the carafe keeps the coffee steaming hot for two hours.  It took me s couple of pots to get used to it and I would like the carafe opening to be a little larger gof cleaning putposes, but overall it's an excellent coffee maker.  I recommend it.
