We have used this coffee maker for years and watched the improvements from machine to machine. New to us this time is the" bold" feature which is great!
I really like every feature and it looks beautiful, but you have to totally remove the top of the carafe to fill it. It does not flip up. Not a big deal, but it would be more convenient.
This is a great coffeemaker, particularly because it has a "bold" setting (I like strong coffee) and the ability to keep coffee hotter, using the "hot" carafe setting. Great buy.
This is a 14 cup automatic drip coffee maker. It comes with a fine mesh filter that is removeable should you want to use #4 cone paper filters. I use the paper filters. It is also programable, which is a very nice feature that I use often. I like the large carafe that comes with it. It is easy to prepare the coffee maker for brewing. For me, I simply use my pull out spray spout at my kitchen sink and fill the coffee maker. I really like the temp control for the carafe that keeps the coffee hot. It beeps when the coffee is made and when it automatically turns off after a couple of hours. This coffee maker is a good buy and I recommend it.
