AdvantagesOne of the good things about this coffee maker, according to consumers, is that it is fairly easy to clean. After use, you can just remove some components and wash them thoroughly. The warming plate is non-stick so cleaning it isn't a problem as well.Because the unit has an automatic shut-off, even if you have forgotten to turn off the coffee maker before you leave home, you can rest easy that the machine will not overheat and cause fire hazards. The coffee brewed in this unit also tastes good. This is because of the charcoal filter that enhances the flavor of the coffee. The carafe spout of this unit is specially designed to prevent the coffee from dripping when you pour it into a cup. Another great thing about this product is that it is relatively cheaper than other coffee makers with programmable timers and almost the same set of features. DisadvantagesThere are also complaints about this unit. One of these is that it has a very small serving capacity, only best for small groups of coffee drinkers. Another downside to buying this digital coffee maker is that getting a replacement for a broken carafe is nearly impossible.Some have also reported that it is difficult to find a replacement for filters. Instead of 5 cups, some say that you get less than what is advertised. Pros - shuts off automatically - relatively cheap - has a programmable timer - allows you to drink your first cup even when the unit is still brewing - makes great-tasting coffee Cons - has a very small serving capacity - makes less than 5 cups - hard to find replacements for broken carafe and filter - limited design and color options
