The indicator is located inside the water tank, and is hard to see unless you're very tall, and have excellent vision

I wish it had a bigger water tank to store water in

Also impossible to read the number of cups from inside water tank - black on black.

I feel like they may settle into the bottom of the water tank over time

Would have received five stars if the numbers inside the water tank were in a contrasting or different color

I love that it has a filter feature inside the water tank

Charcoal filter in water tank is easy accessible.

Unlike other coffee makers I have owned, this one does not have a clear area on the side of the water tank with cup markings.
