My old coffee maker quit so I HAD to buy a new one the same day. When I looked at my needs and the options available, I choose Cuisinart because of the options and the price. I am very satisfied with my choice. I do wish that the pot cap swung open, but that is not a big deal.
I have had this unit for a month now and has been a great coffee maker. The coffee is hot not mediocre as with other coffee makers and stays hot in the pot after brewing with the timed hot plate.
Our old coffee maker burnt up and we purchased a newer and more programable one; it not only works great, but it also makes our morning coffee taste a lot better than the old one. Very happy with this purchase
This is a great coffee maker! Easy to use and program. There are three choices for the hot plate temperature - low, medium and high. A perfect replacement for my older Cuisinart!
