I like the small size and the stainless carafe. The carafe keeps the coffee reasonably hot, but I don’t like that the hot plate turns off after 30 minutes (60 would have been better).
This is a very good 5-cup coffee maker with some improvements made over the previous model. The only defect I have found is with the lid of the reservoir: it is unstable and easily falls into the bottom of the reservoir. It would be good if the lid is made to be held to the reservoir.
