simple 12 C. Coffee maker. I like the programmable feature. Had to purchase this as I noticed a nice crack in the glass carafe in my old, very inexpensive coffee maker. Hamilton Beach makes a long lasting product. I found this one on a great sale price-in store special. I'll give 4 of 5 stars simply because I've not tried it yet. Hopung this lasts as long as my last " flex brew"...(14 years).
