I purchased for the nice aesthetic and matte finish that blends well into the kitchen and love the ability to set the brew temp. This may be the first coffee pot that actually brews bolder when you program for that. Very impressive so far.
I finally made the decision to use a stainless steel carafe instead of the glass carafe after having to replace the glass carafes so many times. The Cafe is user friendly and makes great coffee.
Relatively easy to use. Need to carefully read the manual. The carafe handle is not of the best quality. The "copper" veneer is only covering molded plastic and could readily break if dropped.
Coffee stays hot, love the blue tooth capability. Overall, it's great!
I would recommend this to a friend!

We hope that you will enjoy it for many years to come! - Tierra@Café
One last almost two year. The second one worked 50% of the time and last under 45 days. At least the store allowed me to return it. On the third and last one. This one the coffe grounds over flow the filter. Will probably be told its because of the coffee grounds or filters but can't be because it's the same filters and coffee from the last two. Looks pretty and that's it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
