   This is a nice coffee maker that is pretty simple to use. Pour in the water, scoop in the coffee, press the button and wait a few minutes and you have a hot cup of coffee. My wife does not like the fact that it does not have a light to show that it is on. It does have a small mark that appears on the front screen that show when it is on, but she cannot see it well. She would rather a nice bright light on the front showing it is on. I have no problem with it but she wanted me to mention it. It can make 12 six ounce cups of coffee. The most I have made so far is 10. It is pretty quick but I usually take the pot out sooner to pour my cup, then put the pot back in place for it to finish, especiall if I am making a fuller pot. The automatic shut-off feature is nice especially if you have people in your household that are forgetfull these days – like me.

   I got this drip coffee maker since we did not have one, and when we have a house full of guest stay over for a long time, making 15 Nespressos gets a bit long in the teeth…This machine looks and feels nice. Not cheap like a Mr Coffee (nice cheap coffee makers without frills), and not high-end either. This is still a plastic coffee maker, and it feels it to the touch.The timer and settings are great: Whats not to like about waking up to the smell of fresh coffee in the morning.. 🙂 I use the ‘strong’ setting, as I like my coffee strong and bold. The coffee comes out good, as long as you give the machine a few brews with only water when you get it. After that, there are no off smells or tastes, and the coffee comes out great. Use the re-usable filter basket of paper filters, you cannot go wrong either way.The only think I am missing is the thermos – It keeps the coffee fresh for longer than a heating pad. I guess that will be the next purchase. :-)The only downside for this particular model, is that I feel that the price is a bit too high for what you get. After all, this is a pretty basic coffee maker, with a few added electronic bells and whistles. It does not bloom the grounds or does anything to optimize extraction, and the materials do not scream ‘high quality’. A Mr Coffee machine with similar functionality costs the same, and for those you can easily get spare parts. I think this one should be available for less than a comparable name-brand to be a great deal.

   Got this because our old coffee maker broke and I needed a new one. I really like the look of this coffee maker and it’s very easy to program the automatic start timer and display. Other than that it’s just a normal drip coffee maker and works very well.

   We use this at my office and everyone likes that it can custom brew stronger or weaker coffee with the press of a button. I don’t understand people who don’t like strong coffee, but they’re out there and I work with them. Easy to use and capacity is perfect for our small business.

   Updating my review – I tried to update this earlier when I changed it to two stars but it didn’t take, so I’m rewriting the update:It worked well at first, but after about two weeks, the clock started randomly changing to the wrong time, no matter how many times we changed it back to the correct time. Also, the auto-set feature no longer works and it randomly starts brewing coffee throughout the day, all throughout the day, so we have to keep it unplugged so it won’t do that. The electronic buttons don’t always work either and I have to push them several times to get it to register. The coffee is still good, but the machine is not working well or properly.I like the overall look of this coffeemaker – it was easy to set up, and so far, works very well. The timer feature is great, and I appreciate the “strong” brew option since we like ours bolder. The digital features are easy to use, and the coffee tastes good, no plastic or chemical taste after we ran a few pots of just water through the machine to clear it out prior to use. Looks good on the counter and fits well with our other stainless steel appliances.

   First coffee maker, we’ve owned, with a touch screen and I LOVE it. The lighted icons make operating the coffee maker super easy. We are avid morning coffee drinkers. It took a short 20 minutes to brew 10 cups of coffee. I like the beep that sounds off when the brewing cycle is complete. The coffee maker is compact, has a digital clock and timer. It also has an option for a bit stronger/bolder brew. Although one needs to read the instructions to know it’s there. Personally, I always read the instructions. Did I mention, it also makes a great cup of coffee. I wholeheartedly recommend this product.

   Looks good and easy to use.The last coffee pot I got had a 30 minutes shut off time, which you could change but every time the power went off, it lost the programming. This one stays on for 2 hours which is much better.I appreciate being able to choose coffee strength.It has a feature where you tell it how many cups you are making or you can tell it to make “all.” This is a puzzle to me. Why would I put more water in it that I want to use? Why would I not just use “all.” Reality is that sometimes I do put more water in than I want and this feature allows you to make less coffee without having to get the extra water out of the maker.
