I shopped extensively to find a coffee maker that produces HOT coffee.I bought and returned a Bonavita and Behmor coffee makers because they didn't do the job.  The Cuisinart PurePrecision unit makes good coffee, is stylish and compact, and makes coffee a bit hotter than the others.  I wish it was a bit hotter, but am going to stay with it.  Also, I wish it held 10 cups, but can live with 8.  Overall, I would recommend this product.
