This is the best autocoffee maker for home or office. The tank keeps thje water at the recommended temp as needed and stays there , so each pot/cup of coffee has the best brewing through the grounds. I have had two of these, for years, and the improvement in this model for a vacation switch to turn off tank heater is excellent. This machine and company is recommended by coffee and bean producers. Single serve machines have yet to get the temperature up to what is necessary to brew properly. I receommend this whole heartedly. You wont be sorry you got it. Easy to find filters,or use a permanenjt mesh one.
