At first I was a bit intimidated about the features the Cafe has to offer, but I love the app, and once I set it up for how we like our coffee-hot and bold-all we have to do is set up for the morning pot and forget about it. Coffee is delivered hot, and delicious! The coffee is every bit as good as our chemex without having to wait for water to boil, pouring the water, and waiting more! I thought the price tag was a bit steep but so far we are delighted and hope it will bring years of use!
