Perfectly fine, but not sure why all the accolades
I bought this after seeing several articles proclaiming it the best coffeemaker under a jillion dollars, the one baristas recommend, etc. It's perfectly fine and works great, but I just don't see that much of a difference from my old, more inexpensive coffeemaker. I was hesitant to purchase because I like my coffee really hot and I was wondering if the thermal carafe would keep it as hot as I like it -- and unfortunately, it does not. It's not cold or anything, just not as hot as when first brewed, so I end up having to stick my second cup in the microwave if it has been longer than 15 minutes or so. On the upside, the carafe negates the need for a burner to keep it warm, so it doesn't get that burnt/old taste like a traditional coffeemaker with a glass carafe. All in all, it's a solid coffeemaker and I will keep it, I just don't think it's special enough to cost as much as it does.
