We have an earlier model of this and I can attest that it makes great coffee. Ours heats the water to between 200-205 degrees and runs it through the grounds in 6 minutes. It has provided consistently good coffee for several years now (and I hope for years to come). If it ever dies, I am going to get another, no question.
We do have to grind our coffee a bit coarse (the equivalent of 6-7 at most coffee stores) because, since it runs the water through so quickly, it can have a tendency to spill over the top of the cone if the grounds are too fine. This is easy to compensate for, though, and is part of what yields such good coffee from it because the water doesn't linger in the grounds so it doesn't extract any of the more bitter elements of the coffee.
Hands down, it makes the best filtered coffee I've been able to brew at home short of a much more manual process with a Chemex and careful monitoring of water temperature (and it rivals that).
Highly recommended!

NediferCan the lid of the thermal carafe be secured, like a screw-top? If so, how long does it hold the coffee acceptably warm. I would love to make a pot of this in the morning, screw on the lid and take the whole carafe to work.

grogz0rIt dies have a screw top but doesn't have a lock for the pouring mechanism. I find that the carafe keeps the coffee warm pretty well if you pre-heat it with hot water first. But the vacuum bottle on ours is glass, so I use a separate thermos if I am taking it to work.
