I have been manually making pour-over coffee for several years so I was excited to try an automated pour-over coffeemaker. The coffee tastes better! I prefer the bold and extra hot settings. It is so easy to use just the right ratio of water and grounds. The coffee stays warm for up to 2 hours. I bought the model with the glass carafe and have had no problems with any leaks while pouring coffee.  Overall it is easier and faster to make great coffee. I am very satisfied with this machine.
