We bought this to replace a one and a half year old Cuisinart coffee maker that developed a nasty drip in the carafe when trying to refill the reservoir. This one developed that same drip all over the counter after two days. The auto shutoff feature that is supposed to allow you to remove the carafe during brewing doesn’t work well and allows the coffee to keep dripping. The plastic filter holder doesn’t fit snuggly and tries to float to the top when water is added to the reservoir. I also had to put several layers of scotch tape over the blue display because it is blinding. This really isn’t a very good coffee maker.
