The most difficult coffeepot to program! We couldn't get one pot of coffee. Read & followed the instructions. 2 hours later, we gave up & returned the pot. One positive thing is that it looked nice.
This is a great coffeemaker! I read the reviews before buying it - some said it was hard to program? I didn’t think so, but that’s just my opinion. It does use a cone filter or the little gold basket it comes with - of course I only had the round filters! And make sure the holder is all the way in or you get a mess! But the temp on the carafe holder is wonderful! The hot is the hottest I’ve ever had! My husband is delighted. All in all - a great purchase.
