I give this machine an easy 5 stars, because it is, in fact, THE FIRST American mass-market drip coffee maker that brews coffee properly, and stores it well on a variable-wattage burner, instead of destroying it with a conventional hotplate. Basically does what a Scandinavian-made Technivorm machine does, at 1/3 the price.I agree with the previous reviewer that the timer is dinky, but I don't use it much anyway. My other small complaint is that it would be fabulous if Presto included a permanent metal mesh filter basket, but that would probably tack $10 onto the price, and Swissgold baskets are readily available. I don't particularly dig the taste of paper.
I roast coffee for a living, and I feel that I can trust this drip machine to give me an accurate picture of what my beans taste like. Buy it, buy an add-on filter, and you'll own the best automatic coffee rig you've ever had, for well under a c-note!

Product Description:
Three heating elements assure water temperature is maintained for extracting rich, robust flavor from coffee. Coffee brews up a fuller, smoother taste and no bitterness. Brews up to 10 cups of full flavored coffee in about 8 minutes. Elegant and contemporary styling successfully combine in this Scandinavian Design coffee maker. Sleek profile saves counterspace. Cone-shaped filter basket for richer coffee. No-drip "pause and serve" feature temporarily halts the brewing process when the carafe is removed. Programmable digitial clock/timer.
