I was looking for a coffee maker that does not look like the ones we see so common in stores. This one looks great, modern design, beautifully finished, great with the colors red and black; a real eye-catcher in the kitchen. Witzig is the teaspoon of the side located on the machine. 2-year warranty and if you enrols at RUSSELL HOBBS via email with the product, you still have an additional 1 year warranty. I can recommend it only.
