Out of all the coffee makers I have had... this is my all-time favorite and I go through them so fast. the reason I go through them is because coffee is my favorite indulgence in the world. It makes me very happy that the filter is reusable and I love the fact that it has the carbon filter because that is just perfect. I also think it's pretty awesome that it's sleek and modern looking with a touch screen because he doesn't love a touch screen and not having all this buttons. I recommend anyone who enjoys drinking coffee to give this coffee pot a try because hey, if you drink coffee and drink it as much as I do you definitely need a coffee pot and this one is worth it!
