We were looking to replace our 3 year old coffee pot with something that would go with our kitchen remodel, and this coffeemaker delivers! The matte black is closer to a dark gray, but still looks beautiful, especially with the copper accents. The WiFi capability was simple to set up and the settings easily adjustable. I love that the carafe does the work of keeping the coffee hot, rather than a heating pad. This also helps keep the base area very clean, without any type of residual drip/burns. Highly recommend!
