As a Mom of three kids ages 9 and under, a hot cup of coffee is a prized possession. With a busy on the go lifestyle, I need a quick coffee pot that can brew perfection. This coffee pot brews very quickly, and I love how the system works. Super quick and easy to use and clean. The coffee in the carafe stays hot for hours, meaning I can brew in the morning and have a cup of still hot coffee in the afternoon. Perfect for me. I have a very bad record of breaking carafes, so the stainless steel is perfect for me. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
