I LOVE this coffee maker! I’m very picky when it comes to coffee. I knew I wanted a Cuisinart coffee maker (always had an excellent cup of coffee with every CUISINART machine I’ve had or had at family/friend’s homes). My problem was deciding which machine to purchase. I finally selected the ‘Extreme Brew’ as I’m always wanting my coffee before it’s finished brewing and this maker allows one to get a cup anytime it’s brewing (without dripping/slopping all over everything), it’s hot, fresh and perfect! Easy to assemble, use, set and program. Not too big, looks great next to my other stainless steel Cuisinart appliances and cleanup is easy too. Highly recommend if you’re looking for an affordable fast, easy and eye-appealing appliance!
