Looking for a new maker to replace my mr. Coffee that was old but still working.
Not sure if this Cusinart is worth the higher price of all other brands. I will know if it lasts another 10 years, if it does last it was worth it.
What I do like about it is that (1) the water sparys instead of drips on the coffee like most other makers. Never have to worry about un perked grounds. (2) coffee is piping HOT
(3)Has a adjustable timer to the minute of when you want it turned off.
What I dont like about it is (1) that the lid doesnt have a thumb release function for filling or pouring. Taking off the lid requires 2 hands and took me longer than I like to admit on how to get it off.
(2) As others have stated the spout is a major disappointment. Its really mind boggling how that passed the quality control dept. If I had to guess I'd say it was to small? Pouring takes finesse.
