Ever since I've been using this coffee maker I'm happy to make coffee always. It works so good and makes a strong good effective cup of coffee a cup that I enjoy each time. There is three ways to brew this coffee pour over, over ice and SCA Golden. I've done all three ways and like them each. I love how the over ice brews it to where it won't water down. It's a very simple machine to use and comes with a book to help you out but basically add water and press the button. It has measuring lines for the water and ice and I find that very helpful. This is my new favorite coffee maker.
