I adore this coffeemaker. The coffee it brews is as wonderful as you get at a coffeebar. Especially if use premium brands like Starbucks or find a local shop that fresh roasts daily and is economical to boot. It is a little involved to clean but I let it dry in the rack and that helps or else just throw it all in the dishwasher. Be careful cleaning and handling the goldtone filter or it will get a tear... This coffeemaker has a 3 YEAR warranty. Best coffee I've ever had at home. I've now had this over a year with no problems.
