This piece of art which some may call a coffee maker is a wonderful daily experience. Having accessibility to stir the grounds makes me feel like a world renowned barista, rather than the sleepy dad I am. Heats up incredibly fast, very easy to clean, and most importantly the coffee tastes delicious. Hot tip; I like a combination of a 36 gram fairly coarse grind with 600ml water for the perfect 2 cup kick to go about my "Husband of the Year" responsibilities.
