I can't say I'm thrilled with this coffee maker. It seems cheaply made, and the lid of the water tank is designed so that it often falls into the water tank chamber when I go to fill it.
Perfect for single person to make a fresh cup of hot coffee, or sometimes half a cup, several times each day. Love the unbreakable stainless steel pot. Looks nice on my counter and doesn’t take much space.
I’ve owned several full size cuisanarts and quality was always outstanding. I bought this based on my experiences. It’s a great coffee maker in every way but one. The caraffe, although metal, is lacking. It’s not lined or insulated and it has this lip inside that prevents all the the liquid from draining out. It’s just not typical of thier great caraffes.
