I've gone through a lot of coffee makers looking for one that makes coffee as good as I find in restaurants. I've had mine for more than a month now and make 2 to 3 pots a day with it. This one surprised me with the first cup. If you've been searching for a good coffee maker, you found it. Very good coffee. However, I find the replacement water filters a little hard to find locally, but they are available in many places online.
After reading recent issue of Consumers Report, I ordered the top rated KitchenAid DCC1200. I got a very good price of $63 including shipping. It works better than any coffee maker I have ever owned. I recommend it.
Easy to program and the coffee is brewed perfectly. Excellent condition. Prompt delivery. Have several Cuisinart products and all them are far above average. All as described. Works great. You may pay a bit more, but you will get a quality product. I strongly, without reservations, recommend this product.
I previously had a Cuisinart Grind and Brew. I have been using my Cuisinart for over 2 months and love every cup. For the money it was great, but when the grinder broke, I had to pitch the whole unit. I decided than to "simplify" my coffee maker to one without a grinder, or other parts that can break. The coffee is hot when it comes out and stays hot for the two hour's i might keep it on. It is vey easy to use, and the BEST PART is the fact that the "stainless steel" looks stainless, but does not get the finger prints and water marks like my old coffee maker.I would highly recommend this to any one looking for that new coffee maker.
For the $100 or so, it is a great value. I've had this coffee maker for about 5 or so years and it has never failed me. I think the Cuisinart uses high quality materials and only the hot plate has begun to 'peel' in one spot (the teflon coating) probably due to the way I cleaned it at one point. I've seen the newer competing Krups model in person and I find it to be nice, but the materials/look aren't as high of a quality, and I wonder about the long term durability of things like the push button release for the lid. Anyhow, my sister got one and she loves it too.
