I spent hours trying to find a 4 or 5 cup high quality machine with a CONE filter, not basket. Cone-filter machines consistently make better-tasting coffee for reasons too technical to explain here. For some reason, nearly every company has stopped manufacturing them. I took a chance and went to Macy’s to buy the only one I could find from a well-known manufacturer, either online or nearby. Have used for a month now, and LOVE it. Unlike other machines, the coffee is REALLY HOT when it’s brewed. Ingenious design includes high-quality permanent cone filter, and a clear tank in the back that takes the water so you can see exactly how much you poured before you click “start.” My only complaint is that I wish the “keep warm” feature lasted longer than 30-minutes. Yes, this was 50-bucks, but I’m glad I took a chance on it. PS. Whatever you do, DON’T ORDER THE 4 or 5 cup GEVI machine! What a complete nightmare…but that’s a different review, LOL
It’s fine. It does what I bought it for. I really have nothing else to say. I can blather on about your product but what’s the point? It doesn’t perform miracles. I turn to aGod for that. The machine I bought makes coffee using water and ground coffee beans. The grounds are contained in a paper filter. The heated water drains through the ground coffee and produces the coffee I drink.
This is my second Cuisinart Coffee Maker. My first was 4 cup, this one is a 5 cup. This one is an improved model. It has a water filter and the carafe has been improved. The improved carafe does not spill coffee when you pour from it. My first coffee maker did not have a water filter and coffee spilled when pouring from the carafe. My new model also makes hotter coffee than my old model. I am very pleased with my purchase.
