I am quite satisfied with my purchase. The coffee is very nice, easy to use, very good coffee and is very rapidement.Le that it goes out alone is handy because it is often that I forgot to turn off the old. The thermal carafe allows to put it on the table and have hot coffee for a while. (Handy for staggered revivals of family members!). The small problem: the fact that it is not transparent is not practical to see the remaining amount inside.
