I was very excited about this product until I found out that there is design deficiency where the water comes from the reservoir to the coffee basket. The first unit I purchased worked for a couple of days and then it started to leak really bad that resulted in water on the sink that flowed on to the kitchen floor. I did get a replacement coffee maker and that one too started leaking after a couple of times using it. The problem is where the intake tube goes to the overhead drip assembly. Before the water gets to the overhead drip, it starts leaking at the hinged tube part.
Although my drip coffee maker was only about a year old, it was already beat up by constant use! I researched many brands, looking for a machine that would stand up to daily use, and found my first Cuisinart coffee maker! I waited a few months before posting a review, and I give this one FIVE STARS ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for ease of use, ease of cleaning, and the addition of the water filter inside truly makes a HUGE difference in taste!
Top opening opens under cabinet. Awkward. Fill level sight glass on wrong side. Awkward . Gold screen strainer lets dregs into cup. The designer obviously never used it himself in a household setting.
