Comment:
Now that I've had this coffee pot well over a year, I wanted to follow up on it. It has easily been the best coffeepot my wife and I have ever owned.<br /><br />Once a month (almost to the day) I need to run 1/2 tank of white vinegar through it, followed by two tanks of clear water. Reaching in to clean the coffee pot with a paper towel, including the site glass, isn't the easiest thing. But doing that keeps it working like new.<br /><br />It brews a great cup of coffee quickly, and keeps it at the perfect temperature. And with the pull-out filler, it is one of the easiest coffee pots that you keep under your cupboards to fill.<br /><br />Great coffee pot, great value.

If you want a tasty cup of coffee, this maker is great. If you want it TODAY, you're out of luck. <br /><br />I've had this for over a year, and I've put up with it because I hate buying something if the thing it's replacing isn't even broken. That said, I've had it. I'm going to get a different coffeemaker.<br />It takes FOREVER to make even the first cup of coffee - the most crucial cup! If it didn't have the feature where you can serve before it's done brewing, I would've tossed this thing out of the window. It's really loud, so it sounds like things are happening, the brew is brewing...but it's a tease. <br />And the timer function turns off the heat relatively quickly, so add that to the slow brew, and by the time a full pot is done brewing, the heat will turn off.<br /><br />I just think if it takes this long to brew, it doesn't matter that it looks nice, has a great under-the-counter pull-out filter, etc

What you want out of a coffee maker. Pours easily, durable, hot enough coffee. My problem with this is that it seems to take FOREVER for a pot to brew. When I am trying to rush out of the house in the mornings for work; or having family and friends over, the length of time for a pot to brew is way too long!
