Very Good Coffee Maker
on February 17, 2015
Posted by: spritedaway
I did a lot of research before making a purchase to replace my existing coffee maker that was dying.
Very Hot Coffee was the number one requirement. I typically take my coffee and stick it in the microwave as I like it piping hot. My previous maker was beginning to fail to delivery on this.
Glad to say this coffee maker delivers whether it's just brewed or being sitting for an hour or so. It is very hot....perhaps too hot for some.
I wanted a maker that used cone shaped filter like my previous maker as I think this improves the taste.
The lid on the carafe is a little unusual as it's like no other I've seen before. Takes a little practice to figure out how to remove and snap back on. The benefit is that the lid will not come off as your are pouring hot coffee. You just need to pull the lid from the handle side to remove....and snap it back in place by pushing down near the top of the handle. At first I was thinking the lid was defective but once you figure it out it's easy to remove and put back on.
Emits a beeping noise when it's finished brewing which is nice. Easy to program to brew a fresh pot when you wake up.
It's not too large and is very nice looking. The cord is rather short, so you need access to a fairly close outlet, which I imagine is a safety issue.
Overall, I would certainly purchase again. Notice that I can easily get a cheap replacement carafe from Cuisinart should I ever need to.
So if you like your coffee VERY HOT this may be the one for you.

I would recommend this to a friend!
