"Easy to use"
This is our first coffee making machine and we found it very easy to use. Pressing the 'Aroma' button slows the process down a little, but it is still quick and the coffee is hot. The filter compartment swings out and beside the filter holder is a "channel" into which you pour the water - so it's all done from the front! We have not yet had occasion to use the timer, but so far very happy with our purchase.
