It does give you a cup of coffee quickly. I odn't have to worry about my coffee filter folding up and ruining my coffee. What I don't like: no way to keep my coffee warm after it's brewed. Would like to generate a greater amount at one time, i.e. more than just 12 oz. Getting my own coffee ground so that there not a lot of silt in the cup after brewing is proving difficult. In all, it's okay but not the best.
We are hoping that the replacement will be much dependable and DURABLE than the original one that turned out defective after just a month or so of use. This new one seems to be running fine so far. Reason for our 4 star rating - We will need a month for us to get a final review of this replacement. So crossing our fingers.
It took 4 phone calls, several emails, all with the same information to get this replacement. Got the felling the company was hoping I’d get discouraged and give up!! Not happening.
