Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Makes good coffee. My experience has been good except for: If top is not pushed down completely the coffee will not drain and will spill over. I am used to it but when others are at the home and try to make coffee, they just close the top without pushing down and spill it. The most disappointing and the reason for the 2 rating is that the heating pad paint started to crack after 9 months and is quickly flaking away after less than one year. This product has not been abused and we use it once a day and do not keep the warmer plate on. The top lid design and warmer plate quality make the product not suitible, even though coffee is good. Expected more from this Cuisinart.
