Thank you, it does.
I'm considering getting another coffee maker. Because frankly my husband is a pain in the butt.
It's simple and everything. And Mrs. Siri like having to pour water into something it's plugged in.
I guess you could say I'm a little too lazy to unplug it.

Make sur when ordering them there the individual filters and don't get the ones that you have to tear off because the prefer rations are hard to find, get the individual filters in a pack of about a hundred or so I believe. I'll check and see what brand mine are and let you know in the morning. Hope that helps.
