Makes a great cup of very hot coffee. The clock, auto brew and auto off are easy to program. I especially like the auto off options of 1 to 4 hours. I like that you pour water in the top, but would like for the lid to open further for easier pouring. I like that the pot’s pour spout doesn’t make a mess (like some of my previous coffee makers). I’m not real crazy about the actual pot lid. It’s not permanently attached to the pot and isn’t easy detaching it. I do feel, however, that the pros outweigh the cons.
