The Bold button did not work. We arranged for an exchange of another one, and again the Bold button did not work. The only flaw in an otherwise very nice appliance.

The coffee maker works well at making the coffee. As it comes to the end of the brewing cycle, it is very noisy, emitting a sort of banging noise. I am disappointed that the heating plate is already, after a month is starting to deteriorate with staining even though I clean it every day.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Wonderful coffee! Only flea in the ointment is that the flip-up cover doesn't flip up far enough to easily allow pouring the entire contents of water in the carafe. The designers needed to test this better before putting it on the market.

It is a very good coffee maker. Works as advertised. It does have 2 design features that I don't like. First is the lid on the carafe isn't hinged which is just a minor nuisance. The second is more annoying, the lid on the machine goes up only 90° which makes it difficult to pour all of the water into it.

The opening to pour water into the coffee machine is to small. The coffee pot is difficult to place onto the burner plate. No hinge on the coffee pot lid.

Finally a modern looking coffeemaker that is easy to clean and easy to use...and pours without dripping. Makes excellent coffee. Takes a little while to figure out the buttons, but once understood is easy to use.

The nameless Power symbol (Bottom-right of the screen) lights up the touch-screen, EXCEPT it is disabled when the coffee is perking, or having finished perking, the carafe heating pad is on.
When making coffee make sure the filter basket is fully engaged by pushing down on the little handle of the basket until it clicks. Failure to do this, the coffee will not flow into the carafe, and you will have a big mess!
To start the perking, push & hold BREWOFF/AUTO OFF (Counterintuitive name!) until it brightens and starts blinking. After blinking for a few seconds it will blink dimly as the coffee perks, then stays lighted while the carafe heat is on .
The AUTO ON is programmed to 7:30 AM. Feel free to change it – read the instructions. If you are OK with this time, press & hold AUTO ON until it brightens as does the set time. It then blinks for about 5 seconds, then remains bright, indicating that it is set to go.
These instructions are directed at family & friends using our summer cottage when we are not there. I figured them out during the first week of using the device. It makes good coffee and maintenance has been easy so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!
