This makes an excellent brew, the glass carafe gave me second thoughts before purchasing but I found out there is a warmer timer with temperature controlled settings. It allows the coffee to stay at the perfect temperature, no more burnt tasting coffee. I use the medium warm setting.
We used it for 3 days and the clean light came on. I contacted customer service who told me to descale the unit. I did the descaling and 4 days later the clean light came on again. We have been buying this coffee maker for years and haven’t had any problems. Now they are telling us it is okay to keep using it even though the clean light comes on every day.
My old Cuisinart coffee maker died and I needed to get a new one. Chose not to try a different brand because this one was dependable and made great coffee. So I purchased the same model and continue to enjoy the features of this model especially the programmable and bold options.
