I bought this coffee maker because it promised it made the hottest coffee and it did not disappoint. I also love the adjustability of temperatures. It also makes a lot of coffee if you need it. I like that it included the gold filter and I have been using the measuring scoop for the perfect strength for me. The only drawback for me is that it does not fit in my appliance garage, too tall but I new that when I ordered it.
Love this machine, it’s easy to use and brews great coffee. I bought this to replace a Braun when I had two that broke in 12 months. Very happy with this coffee maker.
This coffee maker makes excellent tasting coffee. The controls are simple and fairly intuitive. We had purchased the black matte model and the lining on the carafe chipped off quite badly after about 18 months. The warming pad was also chipping. We use the maker nearly every day . Cuisinart stood by their product and replaced it under their 5 year warranty. It's like 4.5 stars with that service!
