This definitely makes good coffee. It’s easy to use. I mean 1 button is hot coffee and 1 is iced. And it’s as simple as fill with water and grounds. It’s a very nice looking machine. But you have to wait until it’s done brewing before you take any coffee because of the way the basket is in the carafe. I normally drink coffee as it brews. That is something I’m not a big fan of. I’m going to use this as a more special coffee maker instead of my everyday one.
