Pros & Cons
Pros
This machine is a resounding hit for me, because it brews at the correct temperature range, with the exception of the very beginning. It also has a handy brew pause function that allows you to grab a quick coffee in the middle of the brewing cycle.
Touch control keeps the display from getting soiled. It also has a 24 hour programmable timer. The leds are nice and bright and very easy to read.
Easy to setup and runs as expected. Use as desired. They simply make it smoother. Works so well to deliver an excellent cup of coffee.
The shower head design features generously spread out nozzles. The single spout types in other makers miss this one important aspect. Grounds get evenly soaked.
The coffee maker comes with a a reusable coffee filter, a coffee scoop and a charcoal water filter. The steep cone filter saves on coffee too, much better than basket style. The water filters are cheap and easily purchased almost anywhere.
Cons
When pressing brew, the light will no longer flash and the bean indicators stay lit as if it is done brewing. The touchscreen looks nice but is pretty unreliable and malfunctions easily. Not impressed with the quality for the price.

Excellent quality, easy to use, easy to clean, i recommend this product!
Only issue i had was not with the product but shipping - there was a large hole in the side of the box.
And so far, i’ve been entirely satisfied!

I assumed that it was a fast brewer (3 minutes to a full pot) it was not.
Packaging/appearance

Competitiveness
I wish the water reservoir had a 'see-through' panel to make it easier to see water level as you fill it up.
After extensive research, that almost had me buying a bonavita or the more expensive moccamaster, i settled on this model for a... Read More

Some older models we used over last 10 years developed water leaks after 23 years because small plastic tubing cracked
