This coffee maker is so easy to use. Push one button and you have your coffee.  The machine is very quiet. It heats the coffee to a perfect temperature at a very reasonable pace. I love the light feature which reminds me to shut it off before leaving house. An added feature is the pause. I do this all the time; pause to pour myself a cup. I drink one cup while I'm doing my daily routine and when done and ready to go, so is my coffee.
