This is my 2nd Cuisinart 4 cup coffeemaker, perfect size for one.  My son bought my first for a Christmas gift that lasted about 7 years and affordable to update.   I love the fast 4 cup making when I first get up, and pause for my 1st cup.  The stainless steel carafe is stylish,  easy to pour and clean.  And the coffee tastes delicious !!  I recommend to all who needs a small but elegant coffeemaker.  Love love it !!
