This is our 3rd Cuisinart and we love the features and price. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star review is that the pouring spout is not the greatest. When the pot is relatively full, if you pour too quickly, it dribbles down the front and spills. As long as you pour it VERY slowly, it is fine but it is a little inconvenient. Other than that, it is a GREAT coffee maker!
I wanted to like this coffee pot, but no matter how careful I was to put the grounds in, it always overflowed and got grounds in the coffee. I tried with metal filter and paper filter. I found it really difficult to then clean those grounds out of the hole where the filter belongs. Just didn’t feel worth all that effort everyday so I returned it.
