Braun is the very best coffee maker made. I was wanting another Braun after having two other expensive coffee maker brands that didn’t last anytime and was surprised to find a Braun at such a low price. Having received this product I am more than thrilled with it and so happy to have the best coffee maker back in my home. It is still my favorite brand for dependability and ease of use. Thank you Braun for making a coffee pot that is affordable.
