This was a replacement coffee maker as our old Cuisinart had seen better days. The new one performs great - brews an excellent pot of coffee. The programmable feature is great as it's wonderful to come downstairs to the smell of fresh brewed coffee and pour my first cup. Well worth the reasonable price paid
Works good for small pots, but anything over 8 cups we end up with grounds in the coffee. I have to stop the brew cycle for a few minutes half way through and then it is fine.
