Our old Cuisinart coffee maker lasted forever. When we looked for a replacement, we bought essentially the same thing. We love that it didn't have a lot of bells and whistles to go wrong. Simple to operate, it makes perfect coffee every time, and doesn't take up a lot of space on our countertop. The filters , basket, and carafe are all replaceable, and they didn't discontinue parts. The white finish is perfect in our white kitchen, and is easy to keep clean. Absolutely buy this!
Toast function is somewhat okay, varies from time to time. Bake/ convection setting not as good as my wall oven, but uses much less electricity and doesn’t heat up the kitchen like the wall oven.
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!
