This coffee maker has been without a doubt, the best purchase I have made in quite some time. It has a wonderful flavor. It brews quick and accurately. It is easy to clean, (invest in a handled whisk for the carafe). No worrying about a hot plate. Functional clock and timers. And I repeat terrific flavor. I am extremely pleased, I have been searching for years for a coffee maker like this. I have wasted a lot of money on makers that can't begin to compete.

This is the best coffee pot I have ever had. It's simple to use, keeps the coffee very hot and takes up little space on my counter. I would recommend it.
"Brews excellent coffee and keeps it hot for hours."
We selected this coffee maker for two reasons:
1) Consumer Reports said that, when brewing, their tests showed it heated water to the appropriate brewing temperature.
2) It has a carafe instead of a heating plate.
And I have not been disappointed. The machine brews an excellent pot of coffee every morning. And then keeps it hot for hours. This is perfect for a household like mine where one of us frequently gets up early and the other might not need to get out of bed for a few hours. The coffee stays hot for at least four hours and is never burned because there is no hot plate on this machine.
I only have two cons:
1) Because of the metal items on this device, I expected it to be less plasticy and feel more sturdy than other coffee makers I have bought. That's not really the case. It feels flimsy like most coffee makers. But in the end, that apparently doesn't matter.
2) We had a week where the pot kept over-flowing and spilling out on to the kitchen counter while brewing. Turns out this happens if you twist the carafe lid too tight. Now we know and haven't had that problem since.
Also, I ended up buying this Permanent Gold Cone Coffee Filter and it fits perfectly in to the basket, saving the waste of hundreds of paper cones.

One of the best coffee makers we have owned. Brews hot and fast. Holds the heat. Lasted about 5 years and looking to buy the same model again. Not often you can say that about a small appliance.
I loved this coffee maker from the moment it popped up in my search. When it arrived, I unpacked it and checked for all those problems people reviewed it said that it had. I was easily able to figure out the top, brew coffee without spilling it, and fit the cone filters into the top with no problem. So I am not what the fuss is about.
The coffee is great, we even find that we are using less coffee in the maker as we were with the Black and Decker and Mr Coffees before this one. It brews quickly and stays hot for hours.
However, this thing is loud! From the moment it starts brewing, it almost sighs and does these deep, heavy exhales that are all at once scary and relaxing. The gurgling is constant and gets even worse toward the end. I am not saying that we can hear it upstairs in the bedroom, but if we ever have an overnight guest on the couch, we won't be setting the timer.
"Highly Recommended"

After our previous coffee maker gave up the ghost after 15 years, we went on a search for a replacement. Our requirement for the next coffee maker was that it came with a thermos pot to keep the coffee hot. After reading reviews of several makers & the reviews here, we settled on purchasing this maker. We now have been using this maker about a month now and we use it every day. And I cannot find 1 bad thing to write about this maker. We have not had any problems with the coffee running out of the pot as has been reported here, it brews the coffee at a very good temperature (nice & hot) & keeps the coffee hot for over 5 hours. Don'y know if it will keep it hotter longer or not, as after 5 hours, the pot is empty & the last cup was just as hot as the 1st cup poured.
I would highly recommend this maker to anyone looking to replace their old one.
