It's very quick & keeps the coffee warmer than my old maker! I like the charcoal filter for water but very expensive to replace. 2 problems so far are spring loaded coffee filter has a lot of resistance when putting pot back on maker! 2nd the pot leaks coffee on you when pouring & you can hear the pot crackling while cooling on the counter !
The bold option is a life saver when it comes to lighter,medium roasts and the fact that I can set it up at night and coffee waiting for me in the morning!
Not sure what I’m doing wrong, but managed to cause metal plate on underside of machine to rust and disintegrate and leave exposed wires. Would be a good idea to look under machine and check for issues periodically. Good customer service. Machine works well but consider this a design flaw .
