Living in an apartment I really love the size of this coffee maker. It fits perfectly on my counter and doesn’t take up a lot of room. The fact that it’s 5 cups is perfect for me as I don’t drink more than 2 cups a day. I love that it has the clock and I can program it to have my coffee ready for me when I wake up. I love that it gets filled from the front, it makes it so much easier to fill with the water this way. It brews pretty fast which is always a plus. The small size is great for traveling too. Overall this is a good little coffee pot.
