Started perfect & quickly ended badly

I rarely write reviews. I only write this one after 2 years (2010-12) of dealing with my Cuisinart, both of them! When I first used this coffee maker - I was in love! Worth every $ I spent & I am not one who would have dropped $80 on a cpot 3 years ago. I have changed my ways - given the right maker, I might be willing to sell my husband to pay for it! But, it has to be consistent & this one isn't. Note- if the filter basket is not "clicked" into its spot - it will cause an overflow into the water well - coffee grounds & all. I assumed this is why my first pot started taking an hour to brew a pot. I cleaned it per instructions, repeatedly. Still, an hour. Called manufacturer & they were great about sending me a brand new machine (within first yr.). 2 months later, it started again. So, here I sit, 2 years & 2 coffee makers later & I am 50 min into my wait for a pot of coffee. I wanted this to be the best coffee maker ever...and it was for about a month or 2 but, with a repeat of bad behavior with the 2nd Cuisinart, I am inclined to say that it is not.
What's great about it: The quality of brewed coffee
What's not so great: Durability, 45 - 60 min to brew a pot of coffee!
