This is a very good 5-cup coffee maker with some improvements made over the previous model. The only defect I have found is with the lid of the reservoir: it is unstable and easily falls into the bottom of the reservoir. It would be good if the lid is made to be held to the reservoir.
It’s my choice vs a Keurig. My Cuisinart 5 cup a far better choice. It is much more reasonably priced and efficient than the grossly overpriced Keurig. The quality of the brewed coffee from my Cuisinart superior. 👍
It’s quick and easy to clean. Unfortunately the coffee doesn’t stay hot if you let it sit on the burner. Plus the cover of the coffee pot has coffee on the top so it leaks when you pour.
We love the steel carafe, the size of the coffeemaker and it works well. The only thing we don't like is that the water compartment lid doesn't stay connected
I love it in general... I was not used to having a filter in the water compartment and the permanent filter, but I'm getting used to it! Now I have to buy filters!
