This coffee pot is awesome.  I love that I can program for auto brew. This comes in handy in the mornings when I am rushing.    The coffee pot is very sturdy and the handle is easy to grip and comfortable.  It comes with a removable brew basket that you can clean with ease. Very easy to see how much water is in it . You can store the cord away and it has a nice added bonus of being able to pour yourself a cup a coffee before it done brewing.
