This coffee pot does not have permanent filter, as amazon claims it does. Otherwise it's a great coffee pot. It looks nice, fits well, performs as it should. The best featurs is how hot the coffee comes out and stays for at least 3 hours. Well worth the 30 bucks.

This coffee pot stopped working within a month of getting it. I just threw it away because the $20 I spent on it (not at Amazon unfortunately) was not worth the hassle of shipping it back to a company with bad return policies. The carafe broke within a week. It is made of very thin glass. My old carafe (Mr. Coffee brand) which I owned for over 7 years never broke. The cofee made by this pot tasted burnt, even after following the instructions to run plain water first and to clean with vinegar/water solution. After a few weeks the pot began sputtering the entire time it was making coffee. It also smelled strangely electrical. Finally, the coffee pot stopped brewing at all (as I said, within only a month of owning it.). I would definitely not recommend buying this.

Finally found a coffee maker that makes GREAT tasting coffee, is simple to clean, and is easy to fill. Had a Cuisinart Grind and Brew which lasted less than 3 1/2 years. Have had Mr. Coffee machines, as well as Black and Decker, and this one is the best. The coffee is nice and hot, too. The warming plate is good and hot, too. There is no way to have it shut off automatically after the coffee is done, but pushing the off button when you get the first cup works just fine. Hopefully, this is made in a different factory than the Cuisinart & Keurig models, which seem to have various, ongoing problems according to my experience, and that of various other reviewers.

I followed the instructions and ran it with just water and filter (no coffee) and it hasn't run since. It's probably just a lemon, but I want a coffee maker that works consistently. This one goes into the trash since I bought it on-line for $18 and it's just not worth the hassle of returning it.
