I've been using this a couple weeks now and I just love it. There are so many design features that really make it a step above for me. 
To start, it was easy to set up and program. I love being able to wake up to fresh coffee. I set mine to brew at six and even days I get up later, today it was 7:30, it was still hot. 
The water holder is easy to grasp and refill and it has a reusable filter. One of my favorite parts is the long handled scoop attached to the side, so convenient!
