I bought this as replacement for the same model that unfortunately had sprung a leak from the base of the coffee reservoir. We liked the performance and flexibility of this model enough to warrant direct replacement. The ability to dispense a cup as soon as coffee starts brewing and flexibility to make as many cups as wanted up to 12 at a time is definitely an advantage. Also we find that no paper filter is needed for what we do so we save on that aspect.
I especially like this coffee maker because it doesn’t have a caraff. I have a hard time pouring coffee carafes with carpal tunnel. This dispenses individual cups.
This is my 3rd coffee maker of this kind. They all have leaked after a while. This one is 3 days old and keep going on self cleaning mode for no reason. It does make great coffee but won’t last more than 2-3 years
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
