I received this coffeemaker as a Christmas gift and was initially skeptical of the thermal carafe being able to make hot coffee and the basket-style filter.After using the maker for a week, I have to say my skepticism was unjustified.This machine makes great-tasting coffee that is as hot as I could want it.I never liked the "cooked" coffee that regular, glass-carafe makers produced - burned tasting after the first cup.The coffee from this machine is consistent from the first cup to the last.I fill the carafe with hot water, mill my beans and fill the reservoir, empty the carafe and enjoy.After two hours, the coffee was still hot.One great feature not highlighted is the front-fill aspect:Kitchenaid designed the top with a channel to fill the reservoir by pouring the water from the front, right next to the filter.No more struggling to pour water in the back and see the water level.Extremely convenient.I have to disagree with the previous reviewer - this machine makes ten 5-ounce cups.After reading the review, I double-checked the carafe capacity against my old Krups machine:exactly 10 cups; more than enough for our household.All in all, a great-looking, great-performing coffeemaker that meets Kitchenaid's high standards.I highly recommend it.
