I really like this coffee maker. I set it to start on its own, so that coffee is ready, when I wake in the morning. It is easy to program and is dependable. The only problem I have had is that eventually, the water reservoir rusts through, but I have had that with other coffee makers, also. This is a repeat buy, because I love this Cuisinart model.
I've used my new coffee machine a few times now since I purchased it. Let me say I love it. So easy to setup and use, but that's Cuisinart. Also it's a very nice well built machine, so far I can't find any flaws in looks and operation
Is it possible to enjoy a coffeemaker? I do! The coffee comes out hot from the dripper - not lukewarm but actually hot - and it is kept that way until the warming plate shuts off.
This is our second machine of this model. In general it's a great coffee maker, and we especially like the temperature control. It really lets you keep the coffee HOT if that's how you like it. It's easy to use and generally makes great coffee. However, our original machine sprung a major leak after about 2 years of use, spilling water all over the counter and the floor every time you used it. We liked the machine enough that we bought another one of the same model and hoped the first experience was just an aberration. We'll see!
Makes good coffee. Simple and easy to use. Taking a star off because this is the third Cuisinart coffee maker I have purchased. They seem to die every 3 years. Unsure if that is the term of their life or poor quality.
