Love the look and design of this 14-cup coffee maker. I got it so that when we had guests, we would be able to make enough coffee to serve all. This is well designed and very easy to use. I love the water container and gold filter both of which easily snap into place. The clock and buttons are sleek, modern and easy to use. All in all, this would be a flawless coffee maker if the carafe was stainless steel, but as is, it's an excellent product especially at this price.
