This is the 3rd Cuisinart coffee maker I've purchased in the last 10 years...and it is the 3rd one I've had to return due to poor design. Like most others say, it spills, overflows, and is generally a mess to pour a simple mug of coffee, unless you want

QuickTake:

Pros: Quite brewing (I work in a VERY close quartered space)
Cons: drips, spills, overflows

Pros: Convenient & compact
Cons: None to speak of
