For myself, on the average day, I use to make my Aeropress to coffee. HOWEVER, I like to entertain and have people over Often - for dinners, parties, Bible studies, etc. For this reason, I need a good coffee maker. This one is IT! It makes a full pot of coffee in about 5 minutes. It's got the cone-shaped filter, Which is much better for coffee flavor than the basket-shaped filter. The thermal insulated pot keeps coffee hot for a long time! The coffee maker looks nice on the counter, and the water level is Easily viewed from the front. I LOVE the factthat the coffee maker shuts off automatically as soon as the pot is brewed! With a thermal pot, one does not need or want the pot to be heated by a warming plate - thatwill just make the coffee bitter and nasty!
I love this coffee maker. If you appreciate good coffee, this one is really worth the price!
