Liked the first one we bought for our other house enough to purchase one for our main house, retiring our old Cuisinart coffee maker to the Butler's pantry as as a spare in case Something's wrong with the new one I had one Cuisinart coffee maker that worked great for more than 14 years I won't own any other brand of coffee maker. They are wonderful appliances that last a really long time. Our coffee pots get used throughout the day & a good portion of the night 7 days a week.
This machine makes great coffee, even if you’re only brewing one or two cups. It replaced a Mister Coffee and the quality improvement is significant. I’m so happy I chose this machine; well worth what I paid for it.
We are large coffee drinkers and like the extra liquid in the carafe. Our cups are actually mugs that hold a cup and a half of liquid. The extra time up to four hours until auto shutoff and the bold taste button were nice added features. The only disadvantage is the extra condensation build-up accumulating after brewing causes the unit to pop but doesn’t hamper the operating of the unit.
