Always a plus is a large 14 cup capacity pot. My previous pot was a 10 cup and it was just to small.Coffee brews fast and taste great. Once you read the instructions and understand the electronics making coffee was a breeze. The display is bright and can easily be seen. I like the 4 brew settings. This unit looks nice and fits under my counter perfectly. Being a Braun product you know you will get years of reliability from this product.
