I love this coffee maker. It brews fast. The burner has different temp settings. It looks nice. The only thing that drives me crazy is that when you pour your coffee, it often spills. It isn't user error. It is a design flaw on the actual coffee pot and lid that could easily be fixed.
Just as advertised the coffee brews very flavorful and especially hot, which is why I replaced my Braun. The only slight drawback is the lid is very difficult to remove to do a thorough clean before the next pot is brewed.
It was time to replace my worn out and well-used Cuisinart coffee maker. This is the 4th one I have owned over the last 30 years. I love the black stainless color and all of the other features that I have come to love about this small appliance.
