This coffee pot looks terrific and operates easily.  It is an easy clean surface and most importantly, it makes a great cup of coffee.  The SmartHQ app works flawlessly in setting a schedule for timed brews.  What would move this from 4-stars to 5 for us is a lit indicator of some kind that lets you know a timer is set.  While I am sure it is assumed you would look at your phone for that (or whatever you use the SmartHQ app on), a quick glance light would be helpful to alert if you’ve actually set a timer or not.  However, it’s a really good device that is worth the investment!
