I wanted a plain no frills maker. This was a replacement for my Mr, Coffee. I wanted a "V" #4 filter to make a good cup of coffee and this fills the bill. The basket lifts out, so you can empty the used filter without dripping all over the place. I bought 800 paper #4 filters for next to nothing and they work perfect in this. I use this every other day and give this Hamilton Beach a high rating.
What's great about it: No bells or whistles just on/off switch.
