Not Awake Without Coffee By Nutmeg101 on Apr 14, 2008 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

This coffee maker is a 10 cup programmable unit with a stainless steel, insulated carafe. Set up on this small appliance was a breeze. It was simple to set the time and set the delay brew time. Also, it is easy to choose whether you want to brew now or later, and choose your brew strength - strong or regular. It takes standard filters (no pricey cone ones). This unit has an interrupt feature to allow you to get a cup if you just can't wait for the whole pot to finish. (we have ALL had those mornings) Just pull the carafe out, and it stops the flow momentarily while you pour. I think my favorite feature is the auto shut off. I believe the wait time is an hour after the pot has finished brewing, the warmer shuts off. But since the carafe is insulated, the coffee stays hot MUCH longer. (Still warm 24 hours later)

This one comes with a 1 year limited warranty, but i never needed it. We have had this unit for a while with absolutely zero problems or issues.

The ONLY drawback is a small one. Cleaning out the carafe can be difficult if one were to accidentally leave coffee in for too long. (so i have heard) The neck of the carafe is narrow, so you can get your hand in to scrub. You would need some type of "dish wand" that would reach in to clean.
