My husband stopped going to coffeeshops daily after I purchased this awesome coffeemaker! It has a showerhead design that gets all of the great taste out of all of the coffee. It uses a basket-style filter that also allows more flavor to come through. It comes with an adapter for brewing a smaller amount of coffee, although we rarely use that extra feature. This is my second one so that I can run love ws · williams-sonoma.com
