great well built coffee maker,we used a kitchen aid for two years,at first had a plastic taste for months,threw it in storage,tried a delongi ,but it broke after two weeks and no parts available,went back to the kitchen aid but it's led face failed,so bought this new 14 cup unit and no problems,love it
So far so good for this Mr. Coffee convert. The 14 cup carafe is great! We will see how long the Cuisinart lasts. Mr. Coffee's were only good for about a year :0(
