This is a great coffee maker. The display is easy to use and for the first time I am actually programing for our morning coffee to be ready when we awake. The size does not take up unneeded space and it has great style and eye appeal. I love the blue display and how the maker looks on the counter. It is easy to clean and work. Two issues: first the hour display reverts to "00" during the brew cycle and I went through three pots and had the same issue; second I like stronger coffee and this lovely little maker does not make the really strong coffee I personally like, however my husband does not like my stronger coffee so he is enjoying the maker. I am keeping the pot even with the "00" hour dislay during the brew cycle, disapointed with by it but like the maker enough to over look this.

This was a birthday gift for my husband. We have seen a similar model at Starbuck's store, but by the time we needed a new coffee maker we couldn't find them in the stores anymore. Our old cheaper, Mr. Coffee kept leaking water all over the counter. This coffee maker has no leaks! It looks good and it made my hubby happy!

This product is awesome! And very cute! I haven't had any problems. Although when I remove the used coffee filter it drips all the way to the trash can. I think it might be due to the cheap filters I bought.

THIS PRODUCT CAME IN THE MAIL POORLY CONSTRUCTED. THE SECTION THAT HOLDS THE COFFE BASKET DID NOT LINE UP WITH THE REST OF THE COFFEE MAKER AND THE LID, WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO SNAP SHUT BARELY DOES SO BECAUSE OF THE MISMATCHED CONSTRUCTION. A TUBE IN THE WELL FOR THE WATER HAS A TUBE TO READ THE NUMBER OF CUP OF WATER WHEN FILLED. THE TUBE IS SWAYED, NOT STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN AND DOES NOT MATCH THE NUMBER OF CUPS IN THE CARAFE. SO IF THE CARAFE SAYS 8 CUPS , THE TUBE SAYS 6. THAT SAID IT MAKES DECENT COFFEE AND I DID NOT WANT TO HAVE TO PACK IT UP TO SEND BACK SINCE IT DOES NOT GO BACK TO AMAZON. I ALSO WISH THE COFFEE WAS HOTTER, BUT IT IS AS HOT AS ANY OTHER COFFE MAKER I TRIED. MY RESEARCH SHOW THERE IS NO COMMERCIAL DRIP COFFE MAKER OUT THAT MAKES COFFEE AS HOT AS IT SHOULD BE.

I know I'm not alone with a quest for a decent coffee maker. I think I've finally found it. This Saeco machine delivers great, hot coffee, as well as easy programming. A bit more pricey than others but well worth the investment!

I bought this coffee maker about 4 years ago. Up until recently it has out performed any other coffee pot I have ever tried, both the cheap ones and the more expensive ones. It currently still performs it's duties but 2 things have happened. The display has suddenly turned into some sort of alien sanskrit, so you cannot adjust the clock or auto brew time. Also the power button has started to recede into the pot. I have to use a pen to push it to turn the pot on or off. I promise folks, I do not jab, poke or manhandle this pot in anyway. Just regular fingertip pressure until I hear a beep. I am expecting it to stop working at any moment so instead of buying a new one I have decided on a percolator. Even though this has been a decent coffee maker, I think after 4 years of careful use (to include daily cleaning and weekly vinegar and water brews) this thing should be top notch, especially since it is pretty darn expensive.
So the 4 stars I gave this are for the fact that it is still brewing coffee, looks really nice (pot seems to be well made), and has lasted longer than any other coffee maker I have owned.
