Would have been a 5 star if : 1. It was easy to gauge a perfect 2 cup brew 2. The start button and the 1-4 cup button could be pushed at the same time to start a small pot and 3. As a left handed person ,filling the tank with any amount of water is at best slightly awkward
My poor, old, Cuisinart 12 cupper, well, we loved it to the very end. It was time to say goodbye and I had only to see a 14 cup, new, blingy, replacement. This thing is great, filtered water, a larger capacity pot, also the 4 cup option works great, and I am very pleased.
After months of looking online and in store and finding nothing that met my criteria, I finally came across this one. My husband and I are big coffee drinkers, and most of the Brewers came across only went as high as eight or 10 cups, this one exceeded our expectations with 14 cups so we took the chance and we are extremely happy with our freshly brewed coffee. There are many settings that I find convenient such as the temperature on the burner, a bold setting, paper filter or mesh, Even the dark metal color was right up my alley. I highly recommend this brewer for the budget conscious yet have higher standards for brewed coffee.
One of our airbnb's had this coffee maker in their kitchen for our use. We used it everyday for 3 weeks. Coffee was delicious snd perfect everyday and we found we didn't need much Coffee for a perfect pot by using the bold option. Upon returning home we ordered this coffee maker and gave away our old one
