What a coffee machine! Easy to use and even easier to clean. I’m sometimes in need of a cup of coffee right away and don’t always want to wait til the carafe is done, so the anti-drip system is perfect for me: no more waiting til the pot is done! I also like the charcoal water filter ensuring my water is clean and the permanent coffee filter so I don’t have to battle with those paper ones. Oh and the filter is dishwasher safe (LOVE!!!!) I do recommend reading the instructions in full so that you can enjoy all that this machine does!
