If I am not in a hurry to brew coffee I prefer my french press, however, if I need coffee to be ready at a certain time or have lots of company this coffee maker does the trick. It looks nice out on the counter and I have always like Cuisinart products. I have a mesh coffee filter cone for it so I never have to buy paper filters. It does get a little finicky when I try to brew a full 12 cups. This is very rare and I am fine with just brewing two batches instead. It also has a 1-4 cup option, which is great since I am really the only one in my house that drinks coffee. Overall, I would recommend this to a friend.
