I love their coffee makers. This newer model has a 'Bold' feature that I use every day. I think it helps when you are only making 1/2 a pot and the coffee doesn't get saturated enough. This feature bring the flavor up to full. I noticed when using their older model (which I also loved) you may need to add additional grounds when brewing 1/2 a pot in order to bring the flavor up to snuff with a full pot.
I would recommend this to a friend!
