Title: A Solid Buy
Review: Nice looking; goes with my urban loft. The downside to the stainless carafe is that you can't see the coffee in the pot while you're making it, so you have to guess when it's done based on the drip sounds (or lack thereof), though there is a handy drip-pause feature. Also, the carafe-top clips in instead of opening with a lever so you can't peek into the pot easily. The upside is that it's much easier to maintain than a glass carafe...you don't get that impossible to remove sludge accumulating on the bottom if you accidentally leave it on for too long or forget to wash the carafe one morning. As far as the coffee goes, you get what you pay for: of course it's not as good as what a Bunn/other high-end machine would produce, but it's smooth-tasting and good for the average coffee-lover.
