This is my second Cuisinart small coffeemaker. My first one I had for 4+ years of everyday use. It did a good job. I am the only coffee drinker in our home. The size is right and does not take up too much counter space. New model is easier to fill with water. I only brew a pot once each morning.
I bought this 5 cup coffee maker as everyone else in the house drinks decaf so they use a 12 cup Cuisinart. It works great and makes a wonderful cupoa joe!
Very happy overall . . . but the stainless steel in the carafe should be heavier gauge. Plus the way the plastic rim attaches to the carafe traps liquid such that it is hard to clean. Regardless, I am very pleased that it is stainless steel. I've broken way too many glass carafes over the years.
I love everything about this little gem and that surprised me because I liked the original. Cuisinart knocked it out of the park. I look forward to my coffee every single morning. The flavor is even better than my former coffee maker….and it stays hot!
Coffee does not stay warm very long because the”carafe “ is just a metal container.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
