My morning coffee is important to me.  When my old coffee pot died I was heartbroken, in tears almost.

I almost didn't buy this one.  But it had all the features I wanted; a timer and the cone basket.  I'm glad I bought it.  It makes great coffee and the plate doesn't get all gunky from our water like the cheaper ones did.

I've had this pot for 4 months now and still love it.  The only downside is sometimes the basket doesn't close right. 

It's not the cheapest pot out there, but it's not the most expensive.  It really works well and it's well worth the bit extra.
