Cuisinart 10 CUP THERMAL COFFEEMAKER PERP FLAVORBREW THERMALCOFFEMAKER

It's awesome...if you like lukewarm coffee
Bought this at Costco as replacement for a Cuisinart DCC-1200 which was great, although it only lasted about 5 years. The only Cuisinart they had now was this thermal one, so we decided to give it a try.

First let me point out some pros:

- Compact, "slim" design size fits well on the counter.

- The "tilt-up" lid doesn't drip water on the coffee maker and counter when you open it...on our old DCC-1200 with "side-hinged" lid we always had to place a towel around the bottom to catch the drips.

And I think that just about does it for the positives.

Now on to the bad stuff:

- The taste has some kind of funk to it...no matter what we did, coffee just doesn't taste as good as the old maker.

- Pouring the coffee...who would ever think that the simple act of just pouring coffee into a mug would be an issue? Well, it is with this POS. Even when full/nearly-full, coffee just sorta trickles out. And then once it's less...

HUGE Disappointment!
We are serious coffee drinkers and bought this coffee pot expecting quality coffee. Unfortunately, we have been unable to get a good cup of coffee, despite the use of fresh, quality coffee beans that are ground just before use. While the flavor is OK, the coffee is luke warm and gets cold soon after brewing. This purchase was a HUGE disappointment and a waste of money. I would not recommend this coffee pot to anyone.

Yuck!
What a disappointment! After brewing 8 cups and not having hot coffee....I brewed 4 cups and immediately poured from the thermos--- the coffee was still"just warm" and very bland. We are real coffee drinkers, grinding our own beans, using top quality beans. This coffee maker brewed the worst cup of coffee ever. Also the programming does not show "am" just "pm" and that can get confusing unless you are really really concentrating in your setting. I would not recommend this product at all. I returned item to the store and purchased another brand name coffee maker.
