This Cuisanart coffee maker is awesome. Easy to program. Can set on automatic so your coffee is ready when you roll out of bed. Can program to stay on for up to 4 hrs as to where the traditional coffee maker shuts off after two. The red color really lights up the kitchen and the style of it is great. Easy to remove cone-shaped coffee filter. Coffee always tastes freshly ground and brewed. Easy storage for the cord. Does not take up a lot of space on your counter. Easy to pour water into the resivor and rarely leaks from the carafe. Has a charcoal water filter that helps to make the coffee taste...
