I had a Cuisinart Extreme Brew for years….so I wanted another…not available. So I bought this…it is okay….pouring water in takes care as the pot drips …the machine groans and grinds during brewing…..its sounds like it is in agony…..sigh
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I inadvertently broke the coffee pot from our roughly 10 year old Cuisinart. Unfortunately, a replacement pot was about 1/2 the price of new identical model, so we decided to buy a new system. Since we have had incredible success with Cuisinart kitchen appliances, we decided not to tempt fate and bought the same Cuisinart. Awesome as usual. It seemed to me that it brewed the coffee stronger than our older system so we’ve cut back on the amount of coffee we use. We do love t his coffee maker!
