Separating the water reservoir from the coffee grinds was smart

A big plus.4.This coffee maker has some incredibly useful, attractive features: a swivel base; an EASY-TO-FILL WATER RESERVOIR; a pull-out coffee-ground dispenser.

Just finished cleaning up 12 cups worth of coffee grinds on my floor when the little handle on the coffee grinds holder broke and all the grounds fell

Love the swing out door for the coffee grinds since that also makes setting up less messy

This is basically a nice coffee pot with the addition of an internal measuring scale, which uses the weight of your coffee grinds to digitally display how many scoops of coffee you put in

The only minor citicizm is the color of the coffee basket as it is difficult to see if the basket is clean the coffee grinds being the same color

I used to get water & coffee grinds everywhere

the ability to set the warming pad temp is a great touch, as I like my coffee hot, but I also like to drink it pretty promptly without waiting for it to cool for 20 minutes
