Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It's a pretty average, inexpensive drip coffee maker. In the week I've had it, it works as expected. As at least one other reviewer mentioned, the water level is nearly impossible to read from the outside on the black model, so I read it from the inside. Probably its best feature is that when the top is up and you walk into the kitchen, it looks like Darth Vader is there waiting for you. See photo. UPDATE: NO LONGER RECOMMENDED First, apparently there has been a redesign since my original purchase. I found the lid is no longer so Darth-y when I had to buy a replacement after the original coffee maker died after four years. More importantly, the timer on the replacement stopped working after four months. I'm not going to buy this coffee maker a third time.
