We had a Hamilton Beech coffeemaker and it broke after only a few months. This unit seems to be of much better quality. The dispensing mechanism is far superior. We’ve had every kind of coffeemaker in the past and this type with the reservoir that holds several cups of brewed coffee is the best for us as I am an early riser while my wife sleeps later. Having hot coffee throughout the morning is perfect! Did I say “hot”?!, the coffee is hot from the first cup to the last. All in all, we are very pleased with our Cuisinart coffeemaker.
This is my second On Demand (my first one lasted 12 years). I wouldn't even entertain the thought of purchasing another brand because this product offers everything one would want in a coffeemaker. The addition of a light underneath the cup area is sweet ... helps to see how much coffee is going into the cup. The detachable clear water reservoir is a new feature (easier to add water without getting water all over the unit).
This is our 3rd Cuisnart on demand coffee maker. We have one at our second home that we've had over 15 years and the new one we bought replaced a roughly 10 year old one that stopped brewing. We love this product.
This is the best coffee maker I have owned. This is my second unit in the last eight years. I personally appreciate that no carafe is needed. The unit is easy to clean and gives you years of service.
Easy push button dispenses coffee. Uses more water to rinse and clean than a typical carafe. This is my third purchase of this model because I like the one touch lever to dispense coffee. On average they last 2-3 years before various parts fail.
