This is an AWESOME coffee machine! Absolutely LOVE how it brews to evenly distribute taste throughout the entire pot! Instructions are very simple and easily read. Set it up and ready to go in minutes. The stainless steel carafe is great! I have broken so many of the glass ones, this is a very welcome change! Plus it keeps the coffee warm alot longer. So, those who like to drink coffee throughout the day will love this too. Would love to see one with a bigger size carafe, though. I definitely recommend this product!
