I absolutely love this coffee pot.
Good:
- great brewing time
-keeps the coffee warm all day 
-beautiful design 
-simple button structure
Bad:
THE LID... as everyone else has said. Our lid broke within the first month that we had it. We have been dealing with just taking it off or loosening it to pour but that often leads to hot coffee spills on hands or counters. We have looked for a replacement top, its the only thing wrong with our system, but have not been able to find a replacement. I'm not buying a new pot for a broken lid!
