I bought this several months ago and really didn't use it much until it started getting cold. It is really great for coffee, soups and oatmeal. It has a 4-cup stainless steel carafe. It comes in handy on those cold mornings when you have spent the night at the consignee's. I have never timed how long it takes to brew, it doesn't seem to take very long. I haven't had any problems with it so far.

I bought it from a Pilot. It cost $39.99. The Model Number is DCC-450 BK12.
