This is a very good coffee pot. It makes 12 cups. I love that it is black and silver. It is very easy to use. Just pour water in the back of it as you would a regular coffee pot. Then you would put your coffee grounds in it. I love that this one has its own filter and I no longer have to buy filters. That is a good thing to have in a coffee pot. The last thing that you would do is to hit the red button on the bottom of the coffee pot. Then it takes about 7 minutes to make a full pot of coffee. I am really happy with this coffee pot.
