I was sure that because this was a Cuisinart product that it would be a great coffee pot, but I am not happy with it because every time I pour myself a cup, no matter how careful I am, it drips everywhere, and my counters end up covered in coffee. This has been true since the day I got it. If it wasn't for that one incredibly fatal flaw, I'd love this pot. The other feature that I've had in other coffee pots, that I miss in this one, is a removable reservoir. Not a deal breaker, but it sure would make me like this coffee pot a lot more.
I do, however, LOVE the stainless steel. Not only is it easier to keep clean, it's nice that it doesn't look dirty if it DOES need to be cleaned. I will agree that the 30 minute shut off is a little too short, but I personally am just happy that it has that feature at all, so I won't complain too much about that.
This product is OK--if you like cleaning your counter tops.
As an additional noteI purchased this product new, not factory reconditioned.came like new, it was clean everything wrapped in plastic. i have had no problems with it and i love the fact that it uses little counter space and can easily hide it in my cabinets when not in use.Pristine condition for a refurbished product. Makes a great hot cup of coffee (really hot). No spillage problems, carafe looked new. I am very impressed with this product for the price. Worth 20 bucks just for a coffee maker with auto-shutoff and thermal carafe -let alone a nice Cuisinart like this!This coffee pot is awesome!!! The only grief I have is one mentioned by others....the 30 minute shut-off time is too short. I highly recommend purchasing the filter that goes with this coffee maker....unless that is, your drainage system is processed through a field bed. (The coffee grinds stick to the filter but are easily removed under running water...however, those who have a septic system/field bed, all know that we do not want coffee grinds accumulating in the field bed.)I couldn't believe it -when I pulled the coffee maker out of the box, I found coffee stains on the carafe, coffee stains on the inside and outside of the maker, and coffee grounds/coffee residue on the inside filter area. I have no idea whether this unit was remanufactured or not, but I am quite confident that it has not been washed since it was sent back to Cuisinart. Really, truly disturbing.
