All the functions on this machine are very easy to use and I really haven't found a single thing to complain about even though I tried. The shape of the coffee pot itself and pour spout on it make for a perfect pour without a single
 drip while pouring. This is very important considering no one wants to go back and clean a mess when they haven't even gotten any coffee in them yet.  I am very impressed with this machine, to say they least, and actually find it flawless. I am very fortunate to have added this to my kitchen as well as my daily routine
