If you want a consistently hot and tasty cup of coffee, then use the Cuisinart coffee maker. Easy to use and the carafe stays hot. This coffe e maker replaced a different brand coffee maker. I used the same coffee and brewing methods, but the change in taste was markedly better with the Cuisinart coffee maker.
Have a 12cup, the 3rd in 27 months, getting new one sent. Bottom is rushing out and want keep coffee warm. They say 3 yr warranty starts ffom original purchase. If new one want last, you better look at your manufacturing standards.
The only complaint I have about this coffee maker is it seems like the brewing basket is not big enough to use paper filters and avoid grounds over spill into the coffee
Love the white look and of course the usual good taste of coffee made with this machine. Only negative is that I have not figured out how to set the clock. Read directions, watched YouTube, no success
