I finally got my dream coffee maker just a little over a week ago, and it's been the perfect fit for my brewing needs. I'm not a morning person so waking up to a programmed freshly ground and brewed coffee without the mess and transference of grounds from a separate​ grinder makes my morning all the better. I hate the taste of burnt coffee from a glass carafe so having this insulated carafe is just perfect. I only wished it held the temp for maybe 4 hours or even the whole day but we don't live in a perfect world and this is the closest I'm getting to one. Plus this coffee maker continues the standard and look of Cuisinart and fits in almost every kitchen decor. Add this to your home now!​
