(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We purchased this online 1 month ago and we are impressed by tge ease of operation and great flavour this coffee maker gives us. There are some improvements over the older design units which make it even easier to use. The removable lid on the water tank and tge visibility it provides to the water level indicator . We would highly recommend this unit as it brews very well , hot and remains warm for 2 hours instead of 1 with the older units.
