I am enjoying the machine. The only setback is removing and refilling the water tank so often. It seems there is an easier way to throw out unused water because the machine only filters so much, which seems like such a waste. It makes sense if the machine filters as much water as is designated for the carafe and not so much excess. The water is clean, and the taste is apparent, which I love. I am happy with my purchase.
I usually only drink spring water but wanted to get away from plastic. The tap water in my area in Miami tastes so awful so I was really concerned about whether or not I would be able to drink it since I'm very picky. I have to say that so far so good. The water is very palatable And I like the fact that I don't have to keep buying plastic jugs of water.
I am in love with this machine. It is so well designed. Form and function, both. It is bigger than it looks, yet it is very well balanced to make work even in a small space. The carafe is so easy to clean, the way it works is just beautiful. I love the way the water tastes. I really can't say enough good things about this machine -- I'm in love with it!!!!!
