We are one of the rare ones that is not in love with this product. We use it mostly for cold brew and that function is loud. Since my wife tends to make cold brew while I'm asleep, and I am a light sleeper, I get woken up (we live in a smaller space in an urban city). A cold brew pot fills the carafe about half way and takes about 15 minutes to complete. Further, the proper filters take some adjustment in the basket so it still functions properly. It can be a tight fit and we have had multiple pots of coffee get grounds in the pot as a result.  We actually appreciate the glass carafe as it's easier to clean than a thermal one. Between the noise and the filter issue, we will likely be replacing it in the nearish future.
