A very good product that has 1 drawback, The water fill chamber located in the back of the coffeemaker i difficult to fill with the water in the carafe. Redisgning the wter access to the side or front of the access woud make it much easier to use. It is very good coffeemaker, especially with the reusable coffee filter.
I found it cumbersome to fill, the heat plate did not keep the coffee warm once the brew cycle stopped, and I burned my thumb from the steam venting from the carafe as I poured due to a poorly designed carafe.
This new coffee maker replaces a 10+ year old Cuisinart coffee maker that worked flawlessly until it just could not do it anymore. The new model has a greatly improved lid that seals nicely for brewing much better than the older version. Everything about the new one has me confident in the quality and longevity. The one thing I wish I could change about the new one is the clock is lit 24/7. It would be nice and save electricity to just have the clock lit when brewing or not at all.
