Nice machine, makes very good coffee and the carafe is unbreakable. (Broken carafe with no replacement available is the usual cause of coffee maker replacement in our house.) One quibble. The carafe is full to the top at 56 OZ or seven 8-OZ cups. Is a Cuisinart "cup" equal to 5.6 OZ or are you assumed to pour off the first three cups during brewing to prevent a mess on your counter top?

Started off with a Krups, after many years of great tasting coffee had to finally find a replacement. I tried Mr. Coffee and boy WHAT a let down that was, returned to local wholesale club. I have had a few bad experiences with this brands burr grinders so I was hesitant at buying the coffee maker. So far, it has made a pretty good cup of coffee, and the insulated steel pot keeps the coffee hot for many hours. The odd thing is filling it with water without getting it to spill, sort of a poor design there and it tends to spill onto the digital display too, which is not good. A little redesign on the water fill, change the location of the display and they might be on the right track with this one, but hey...for the price I paid with a great discount, it was a pretty cheap experiment. I am thinking after it gives out I will return to a Krups, maybe even a Braun.

Update 10/3/2011: 1) I have learned to place a glass here while trying to fill the pot with water due to the position you are in pouring it behind the filter basket it tends to drip onto the hotplate if you are not very careful.
2) Now the hotplate under the pot is starting to show signs of what appears to be rust from the metal insulated pot rubbing it?
3) Product is not well constructed as if made to last a year or so, I WILL NOT never buy another product with this brand name on it due to the problems I have had with this coffee maker. cheap products...made even cheaper.
