I have tried a number of drip coffee makers over the years (including all Cuisinart models) and have have all been good, functional machines.  But I have found that this pour over machine easily produces the most flavor of any drip machine I have used.  I was initially concerned that the eight cup carafe was too small but as the only coffee drinker in the house I have found it to be just fine and I wonder if the tapered design helps to keep the coffee’s flavor?
The only drawback is the there is an automatic shutoff after two hours with no adjustment to lengthen to three or four hours like other models.  It’s just a convenient setting the other models have.  A small nitpick.
I really like the look and performance.
