I bought the Melitta coffee for Father's Day. That's about one month it is working every day, without any worries. My husband appreciates hard enough water heats it and allows to make the best coffee. I appreciate its ease of use, and programmable hot plate function. Small point to point, one must filter # 2. Our work with old coffee filters 4, so we had I bought the filters. For the "scale" function, we will see later if it works. On the other hand, when programmed to go off at a specific time, a blue light, it is a bit strong at home and it illuminates almost any cuisine, in addition to the time of the oven, the microwave ... Nevertheless purchase therefore strongly recommended.
