Has some nice features but not worth the $. I like the 14 cup but the basket seems designed for 12 cup. This is the 2nd pot and this one leaks too. It seems if you leave the top open the condensation drips down the back. Not smudge proof stainless.
I like that it accepts the #4 cone paper filter. It doesn't collapse while brewing causing a huge mess. I also like the carafe temperature control. The adjustable auto shut-off is a nice feature. Problem: I struggle to find the color white--I must be in a minority without having stainless steel in my kitchen
overall a good machine with one fault in my opinion. The unhinged plastic top of the coffee pot itself constantly becomes separated from the pot. very annoying and is poorly designed.
