I bought the pot because it looked good.  It does what it says.  I thought the price was high for the item but I need a new coffee pot so I bought it.  I will say that since I bought mine the price has gone down quite a bit.  I like that you can set the timer so when you get up the next morning the coffee is ready to drink.  What I don't like is after the first or second cup of coffee I have to put the others in the microwave.  I wish Mr. Coffee would make a coffee pot that would keep the coffee hot enough that I would not have to put the coffe cup into the microwave each time I get another...
