We've had our Quisinart coffee maker for about 4 months - and I'm sure that we won't go back to the cheap brands. The design and all the feature upgrades are easy to use - and the coffee is consistently delicious.
The rim on my 14 cup carafe drips and makes a mess. Just under the pouring lip is what appears to be a crack, or possibly an expansion seam. I can't tell if the coffee drip is coming from there, but it seems like it. Also when washing the carafe, rinse water appears to drip from the plastic rim all around. The coffeemaker itself is fine.
Bought this after ditching my keurig and I don't regret it one bit. Quality coffeemaker for a decent price. Love the stainless steel trim, and clean design. The carafe is sturdy and the water does not spill like most Mr. Coffee carafes. I love the brew pause feature. It's so convenient, especially when I'm running late. Would definitely buy again and recommend to anyone seeking to make quality coffee at home.
This is the 3rd one just like this I have owned. The same thing happ ens alot. I have to clean it quit often or it really slows down. I always change the filters etc. Mine never last over a year. I do love the features.
I bought this Coffeemaker to replace my smaller Cuisinart 12 cup coffee make. I like the flexibility to make 2-4 cups of coffee or 14 cups of coffee. It brews quickly and also has a setting to brew BOLD coffee.
