The 12 cup replaced the 7 year old 10 cup unit. Same size, added features. Put to use immediate and using daily. It has a 1-4 cup button feature new which is nice for 2 of us. We cleaned when unpacked with light vinegar solution and boiled twice. The brew had a "plastic " taste which disappeared. As a engineer, I would guess the plasticers used in molding left new product residue. I would recommend clean well before use. Otherwise , it is great with auto timer and clean functions.

This coffee maker has a serious design flaw - as does your other coffee makers. After the coffee is made and the lid is lifted to remove the filter, condensation drips down the back of the unit forming a puddle of water on the counter top, The rim of the carafe also retasins water when cleaning and drips inside and outside after cleaning. Everything about this is wet!

Great coffee maker. Very easy to use but don’t forget to put the top on the decanter. It will make a big mess if you don’t have it on. Easy to program and great tasting coffee.
