Comment:
If you intend to use the program feature to wake up to coffee already made, don't buy this coffeemaker! The reservoir design leaks from under the machine leaving the counter puddled and less than half a cup of coffee in the carafe. Tried 3 days in a row and got the same results. And, yes, I did make sure ALL the parts were seated properly. I did not read the reviews before I purchased so wasn't surprised to see others with the same problem. However, if you NEVER want to use the delay feature, the coffee comes out very quickly and hot but also quite weak by my standards. Returning it and going with Melitta with thermal carafe after reading reviews all over the web.
How long have you owned it:
A month or less

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
Bought this to replace a coffee maker with a non removable water container. Love that feature, it makes it easy to fill the container. This machine is fast! Brews great coffee and keeps it hot much longer than a maker with a warmer. Brew and pause feature works great. The carafe size is just about right and if more coffee is needed, it just takes a few minutes to make it fresh.
How long have you owned it:
One-to-three months
Bottom Line
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
