It makes great coffee and keeps it hot. However, the handle on the carafe is crooked and that makes it look weird, although it doesn’t interfere with it’s functioning.
This is a replacement for another Cuisinart coffee maker. I'm very pleased with this one, which makes good, hot coffee. I like the idea that there is a button that will light up to show when the machine should be cleaned. My only problem is that the carafe drips when I pour with my left hand, and I'm a leftie. I have to try to remember each time to pour with my right hand.
The convection oven works really well. My complaint is with the controls. The 4 setting on toast burns the toast. The 3 setting doesn't toast it. The three setting with Defrost burns the toast. The 2 setting with Defrost doesnt toast it. The shades need finer, like 1 through 30 instead of 1 through 7. I have a similar complaint about the bake settings. You can only set the temperature on factors of 25 so if your recipe calls for 420 degrees or 285, you're out of luck. You have to guess. Because the controls aren't finely graded enough, I give this "toaster" oven only 3 stars.
