Pleasing appearance (if you like the RETRO look). Has programable auto on and auto off. Three temperature selection for the heating plate.
Negative Product Points
There is no fill indicator window on the water reservoir
Detailed Commentary
This coffee maker was our replacement for the ill-fated Starbuck's Aroma that we returned. We decided to avoid any of the thermal carafe units and looked for a more traditional type of coffee maker. We were attracted to the "RETRO" style and it has all the features we were looking for in a coffee maker . Unlike the Starbucks Aroma this machine has made quite hot (and good) cup of coffee. Two features that insure this is the 3 temperature selector on the heating plate and a 1-4 cup setting that will "double heat" the water before brewing.
