First the negative points: The transparent water level indicator on the tank can be seen only with eagle eyes. This is either thoughtlessness or sheer manufacturer intent to annoy the customer;) Also, the display on Can handle can be seen only in good light. As the water passes quickly, it may flood of coffee powder on the filter paper in a large amount. Result: Coffee grounds in the coffee. The IR cut filter is seated in two small holes and is removable for cleaning. The reinsertion between the superimposed attached holes however, may be a fiddly business. This is called the manufacturer then user-friendly :) Is positive aspect that the coffee tastes and the glass carafe has a good casting properties.
