Nice appearance, works fairly rapidly, and easy to clean up afterwords. I use both the gold filter and a paper filter -- great coffee.
The cons far outweigh the pros of this little machine.Pros:1. Also, I am too lazy to return it. If you lift the reservoir lid (which also holds the hot water dispenser) at the end of the cycle, water that had formed on the underside of the lid will spill back onto the boiling element and shoot steam and drops of boiling water on you hands and at your face.
Difficult to fill reservoir without spilling2. Power button cannot be turned-on with one hand6. Good cup of coffeeCons:1.
One learns the first time not to stand directly in front when attempting to lift lid5. Difficult to fill cup with coffee without spilling (carafe lid leaks)3. Difficult to fill cup with coffee without burning hand with escaping steam from carafe.4.
Carafe lid is sometimes difficult to snap into placeI only keep it because it is small and I'm the only coffee drinker at home. Someday, whimsy will present a new machine to me.
This is a perfect coffee maker if you have limited counter space and low cabinets. This is the only machine I have found to fit on our countertop without having to be moved daily.you'll love this compact.Cuisinart has products that are funtional & affordable and withstand the test of time.enjoy your Java.
I won't need to worry about cracking or breaking this stainless steel carafe.One minor complaint I have with the carafe is that the plastic rim that makes up the pouring lip/lid holder/handle assembly prevents pouring every last drop of coffee. I think that the design of the Cuisinart helps keep the coffee from splashing back onto the drip arm and lid which keeps this area very clean. It is amazing that the cost to replace that carafe is nearly the cost of a new coffeemaker. I can live without the coffeemaker shutting off after 30 minutesI purchased this 4-cup coffeemaker after I broke my second (spare) glass carafe of my 4-cup Mr. The warming pad shuts off after 30 minutes. Coffee I need to align the lid opening to the spout like I do with this version.I don't know if it is just the black color of the parts but the brew basket and coffee maker drip arm have remained clean after brewing over the eight months I've owned and used it.
This lid is different than my glass carafe version and even then, with the Mr.
I also find it slightly annoying that Cuisinart found it necessary to turn off the heating plate after 30 minutes although I'm sure it is a safety feature with a carafe I cannot see through.
Coffee was difficult to keep clean (the water sprinkling area above the coffee basket).PROS: The coffee maker's drip arm (so far) remains clean after use.
Coffee maker (got it as a gift over 14 years ago).

I've never damaged a glass carafe from "boiling" it dry.
I do not find the carafe lid annoyingly difficult to remove or place in position.
The carafe should last long after the coffee maker stops working.CONS: I cannot pour every last drop of coffee easily from the stainless steel carafe.
I really love this coffeemaker.Since I am the only coffee drinkerin our household, this is perfect.It makes just the right amount for one large mug or two cups and the coffee is good and hot.
