It is a great little coffee maker and doesn’t take up a lot of counter space.  It is a front fill maker so it is very easy to fill with water and with the coffee grounds.  Just set the clock and the timer and the coffee will be ready and waiting for you when you want it.  It has a two hour shut off just in case I forget to turn it off.  The nice thing also is that if you are making it and want a cup before it is done brewing, you can remove the pot and it will stop brewing and then resume when you replace the pot on machine.  It does brew pretty quickly.
