I was in need of a new coffee pot, so when I received this one, I was excited, but used to the way my old pot brewed. It was easy to assemble, and easy to set up. I love that is came with coffee filters! I primed the pot as instructed, and prepared for my new pot to show me what it has... Then I was blown away!! This pot brewed my coffee much stronger than my old pot. The cleanup is much more simple with this pot. I only have to take the pot out and the filter is easily accessed so I can clean both the filter cup and the pot at the same time! I do wish that the pot had a timer so that I could wake up to made coffee, but that's small compared to the fact that I can brew me coffee cold or hot
 So, in the summer I plan to use the iced coffee option and I look forward to enjoying using this coffee maker for a long time!
