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
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
