I love the design where you can poor the water in and not have to worry about splling into the grounds.  The basket swings out making ut easy to use and you can remove it for cleaning.  It has automatic brew that is wonderful and brews good coffee that is hot and fast.  My only complaint is I am a big coffee drinker so the 5 cup pot does not hold enough for me at a time had to brew two pots in the morning.  Would make a great addition to a kitchen that is small and or a college student or someone that is not a heavy coffer drinking.
