    Works great!

    I'm no coffee expert, but I was really impressed with this coffee maker. Not only does it have a really stylish design that looked great in my kitchen, but I found it easy to use and very effective in producing good coffee on a daily basis. The carafe is insulated and will keep your coffee hot for ages too, so it's ideal for those with many coffee drinkers in the same house, or who will drink a lot of coffee throughout the day.

    First off, setting up this coffee maker is simple. All you need to do is run some water through it and it's ready to go. The coffee maker itself is black and stainless steel, and has a really simple design that I enjoyed. The carafe slides in and out very easily, and because it's insulated the carafe keeps coffee warm for as long as 4 hours. The downside to that is that there's no smell of warm coffee, so if you're into that you will miss it.

    The coffee maker has a few other features that I really liked. The water reservoir is easy to remove and refill, and the delay brew timer lets you schedule the coffee to start brewing in advance. I particularly liked this option for waking up in the morning to a pot of coffee that JUST finished brewing. There's also a timer that will tell you when the last pot of coffee was brewed, and an indicator on the carafe that shows you how much coffee is remaining.

    Design wise, I really love how the Oster logo is part of the metal, just slightly raised lettering, as opposed to a stuck on logo that tends to get grimy and doesn't look as good.

    All of these little features make this coffee maker simple to use and very user-friendly. It looks good, it's not complicated, and it's easy to set up.
