Gevalia CM-500 12-Cup Stainless Steel Coffee Maker Review

I love this Gevalia coffee maker.  When I walk into the door of my office in the morning and its the second thing I turn on (radio first by the front door ;o) ).  Most people get it because it comes free when you order the Gevalia coffee,  but I like it because it simple yet sleek.   It comes in black or white and it has stainless steel on the front and sides of it so it gives it that new modern look in any kitchen. I love that it has the automatic , so before I leave the office I make sure it setup for the next morning so I can have fresh coffee in the morning. I like that it holds twelve cups of coffee and that it has the simple clock setup on the front of it. I also like the fact that if you do forget that its on, it has the automatic shutoff feature.  I've had it for 3 years so it has a long lifetime. The only thing I which it did have was a grinder.
