The coffee cooks very quickly coffee, he's gone through a jiffy. The machine then switches off automatically. It has a removable water tank. The water tank can be, in that it is removable, filling and cleaning easy. Unfortunately, the upper lid is not firmly connected to the water tank, what I would find other better. The thermos is very shapely and not TROPT when pouring. Very nice operation by rotating, which is very important. : A nice addition is the "AromaSelect" function with which you can set whether the coffee to be mild, normal or strong. The Philips coffee maker makes a very good coffee. I can not confirm that the coffee is not hot or remains. Course, if you cook only a small amount of coffee. eg 5 cups, for me, personally, the pot only with a little hot water warm and let then through the coffee. Then the smaller amount remains hot. Personally, I can only recommend this coffee with a clear conscience.
