Brews fast. Stays hot for 2 hrs after turnoff. Not a large space for pouring water, usually spill some of it down the side. Hard to clean inside. Ease of Cleaning Small opining makes it hard to clean inside, especially the bottom. I actually got my hand stuck inside trying to scrub the stains off the bottom! Ease of Use Set it & forget it Design Could be better. Like I said, because of the shape of the spout and small water opening, water usually drips down the side of the pot while trying to pour water into the back opening. Water opening could be larger. I have to pour carefully...not too fast & not too slow. Durability Great!
