Coffee tastes smooth, no more burned taste. Insulated carafe keeping my coffee hot for an hour and warm for 2+ hours.
The lid is spring sealed for the gaskets, weight of filter and coffee brewing allows coffee to flow into carafe. When finished, the basket becomes lighter so it will seal coffee freshness.
To pour coffee, the lid does have a thumb lever to press and open pouring spout (seal).
Caution do not use lever to open lid from carafe, risk damage.
Filter basket is flat bottom design, simple & easy to clean. I empty my coffee grounds in to my flower bed daily, it smells great outside, my plants love it, once in a while just turn over garden soil.
I don't use program functions, press power button once, it turns blue indicating power and brews coffee and automatically shuts off and secondary timer starts showing when it was brewed and how long, nice.
Self clean function to rescale mineral deposits, nice touch (auto button).
Reason for upgrade, tired of breaking glass carafes, the replacements cost almost half of a decent coffee maker.
This was on sale, normally $140-$150 at Canadian Tire. I got this on sale $70.
