This is about the 4th one I've owned. Tried a different brand last year-didn't work out. I immediately bought another Cuisinart. My coffee and I are very happy again.
We love the new coffee maker. My husband upgraded from a Mr. Coffee 4 cup coffee maker. He can make as many cups as necessary. This not only took the place of the old coffee maker, but replaced our Mr. Coffee tea maker. It serves a dual purpose.
This product is a no brainer. My first Cuisinart coffeemaker lasted for over 10 years! So, the natural thing to do was buy another. Same easy to program digital readout and an even bigger carafe. If you make coffee as frequently as I do, this is your product.
