This coffeemaker has become my favorite kitchen electric. Not only does it have the looks, but it also makes an amazing cup of coffee, or twelve as a matter of fact. I specially like how easy it is to use. I set it up to make fresh coffee when I wake up, and it keeps it warm for up to two hours. The fact that the exterior is cool to the touch is a plus for me who has young kids at home. All in all, this is a great coffeemaker.
