Advantages

What consumers like best about this coffee maker is its sleek design. The sleek exterior is a good match to its highly programmable features. You don't have to wait till the brew cycle is finished. The Pause 'n Serve feature allows you to pause the drip and pour yourself a fresh, hot cup. This is especially useful for people in a hurry.

Water filtration is also a good option. It helps rid water of that nasty chlorine taste, making sure that coffee will always taste good. The auto shut off helps save on unnecessary energy when the machine is not in use. This is also a safety feature.

The thermal carafe in double wall stainless steel makes sure that coffee stays hot for long. It also keeps the flavor.

This 8-cup coffee maker is fairly easy to use and program. It is very easy to clean and the carafe is tightly covered.

Disadvantages

This coffee maker doesn't have a brew selector, one popular feature favored by many coffee drinkers. The brew selector will let you choose the coffee strength according to your desired taste.

Its programmable features work well but it also lacks other settings such as the programmable clock/timer that tells you how long the coffee has been brewed.

Another flaw is that it doesn't make as much as 8 cups after months of use, according to some users. There are also occasional coffee drips.
