Here is the real story about this coffee maker folks. I bought it for two reasons, the first being it's appearance and the second was the brand. I thought the $100 was a good investment in a quality brand. This is my second unit and I can tell you to run from this machine. For some reason the electronics only last about 7-8 months. What happens is the unit will not stay powered on. You start it and it will begin brewing then shut off after 20-30 seconds. At first it is only an occasional problem happening every 5th or 6th use. Eventually it will fail to stay on for more than a second or two. Just this morning I had to restart the machine 9 times for it to complete a 6 cup pot of coffee. I have had it. I can't believe I was foolish enough to by a second one of these, but I really thought it was a fluke that the first unit was so problematic. Now I have done some research on the internet and found that this is normal for this machine. I hope this review helps some of you from having to deal with this. Trust me, the people who have written positive reviews here have not had the coffee maker for long.
