This coffee pot was easy to set up and run. This coffee maker makes 12 cups of coffee which is a perfect amount for my husband and I. We like our coffee! this also has a quick touch programming feature  to set the clock and set up the auto brew. We also really like this coffee maker because of the "sneak-a-cup" feature, where we can fill up a cup while the coffee maker is brewing. This coffee maker also has a 2 hour shut off feature and will shut off on its own if you forget to shut it off. We have really enjoyed using this product!
