Has all the bells and buttons I need. It’s so nice to program the night before so that coffee is ready when heading out the door. Brew strength works well. Cleaned Bella after using a month; no debris or gunk. Easy to program.

My 15 yr old 12 cup Cuisinart was acting up and i was tired of repairing myself.I saw this and the look was just what i wanted.This is 1200 watts not 1100watts spec is wrong.This brews at 200+ degrees on 2nd strength setting i tested.coming out of shower head this is good.The Carafe in my opinion should have removable top and solid plastic at rim like Cuisinart.You have to be careful when cleaning it is awkward having lid swinging when washing some have modified and cut a notch on right of hinge to remove lid not to much so it will hold back in.The top lid of coffee maker could be a little thicker.And shower head could be bigger.I've added up to 13 big tablespoons of ground beans and have not had a problem on anything overflowing like my Cuisinart did.I do read reviews and am a avid online shopper the only thing i do think Bella (Sensio) i believe can do better is on their Website Q&A is to answer questions not just refer people to call them when they need a new filter or Carafe these items should be sold on their Website and they should have uploaded a pic when they answered my question on this site i wanted to see what under the lid looked like they did not do.I like the 14 cup size.And it makes my coffee that i grind taste better.I unplug my unit after each pot is made.And use a chip clip in front of lid to help inside dry so no bacteria can build up that is common in coffee makers.Be careful as to shaking out filter in garbage to not hold on screen as to put hole in it.Lightly tapping while holding on plastic you should be ok.Never dump grinds in garbage disposal i learned the hard way yrs ago and clogged bad.I've had for 3 weeks now and i like and have paired up and matched with a Bellemain burr grinder on Amazon for $23.97 not same company but matches.I paid $39.99 if $59.99 i would expect a few things be upgraded like mentioned above.Hope ive helped.

Makes a great cup of coffee. Nice and compact. Looks great in my counter.

I'm a big coffee drinker and this coffee pot it wonderful. I get 2 extra cups per pot and some days it's needed. Easy to use, clean and looks great with my black/stainless steel appliances.

This coffee maker was purchased for my birthday and I really like it. It works well and very stylish made with stainless steel. Hope I will get alot of coffee out of it.
