I received this coffee maker as part of a free sampling program and was so excited since my husband and I love brewing our coffee at home. This is another excellent, affordable option from Braun. This coffee maker far outshines the one we are currently using (French press). The design of the product really gives this coffee maker an edge and has numerous easy to read options and settings to brew your cup in multiple ways. The coffee it makes is outstanding! We really like the different strength setting the iced coffee settings.  We are totally satisfied and would recommend this product to anyone!
