I bought this to replace an earlier Cuisenart thermal unit who's glass interior exploded. I had loved the coffee and the thermal feature. This one has a metal interior. Yeah. It makes great coffee too.

QuickTake:

Pros: Keeps coffee warm, sturdy thermal unit, looks good

Cons: None

Don't Purchase

This machine is not designed very well at all. Too tall to fit under cabinets on counter, overflows often and you burn your fingers cleaning up. Parts are fragile and need to be set just perfect in order to work. <br> <br>Would not recommend this to

QuickTake:

Pros: When it Broke Cuisanart Mailed part promptly

Cons: Makes a Mess. OVerflows, Tempermental,

QuickTake:

Pros: Good coffee

Cons: The coffee overflows

What a mess!

by jfk , Mar. 16, 2007

Comments:
This has to be one of the most poorly designed coffee makers on the market! Not only is the pot itself awkward to use and nearly impossible to wash, but it leaks and drips every time. The counter and the coffee maker need to be wiped up after each use.

QuickTake:

Pros: Keeps coffee warm for a decent amount of time. Looks nice.

Cons: Leaks and drips. Coffee stays warm, not hot. Hard to clean.

Recommended: No

Coffee lover.

by slvmart , Nov. 7, 2006

Comments:
Don't even think about using this if you are groggy in the morning. You will end up washing your counter with coffee. You can pull the carafe out while the coffee is brewing, but you run the risk of having coffee overflow the filter, if things are not

QuickTake:

Pros: Keeps coffee warm all day, if it lasts that long.

Cons: Lousy design on how parts fit together,
