This is the best coffee maker I've ever had. Its a quality product. The receptacle that holds the gold filter snaps in place. When you fill the water reservoir, fill the carafe with cold water and snap the lid on the carafe and then pour the water in the reservoir. No spills at all.

This is the first programmable coffee maker I have bought. I am enjoying it very much. Love the smell of coffee first thing in the morning!

I read reviews by others who cite problems with spillage while filling or difficulty seeing fill level indicator before I purchased. I don`t have issue with either. Makes a great brew,quickly. I like the 5 beeps when brewing is done and 2 to indicate Auto shutoff. Paper filters are not required.

  Clock, Tricky carafe lid

I've had the best name coffee pots and they all leak. Either when filling with water for brewing, or when pouring the brewed coffee. Not this one. It should be a simple, common feature, but this is the first pot that I've had that can do it!! Easy to program. Coffee stays hot. Nice looking too.

Hands down the best coffee maker we have ever owned. We are heavy users and this one failed after years of use and only at the on/off toggle switch. Buying another Cuisinart because it is the greatest!

  Lots of personalized settings - Easy to use - temperature setting is great! We have owned a lot of coffee makers and this one has lasted longer than any other we have owned, we are heavy coffee drinkers so we needed a coffee maker that could withstand a lot of usage.

  Water pouring is tricky

I have read the other reviews and disregarded them. No problem filling water using pot,no mess. This coffee maker has features I've not seen on other brands. Easy to program, makes a great cup of coffee after trying a couple different blends.

I had my first Quisinart coffee maker for 10 years or so.. When it finally bit the bullet, I did not even considersider any other brand. Keeps coffee hot and allows you to choose how hot you want it to be. It's easy to clean and maintain.

Despite Instruction booklet, there are no beeps when brewing is complete. Unit will not shut off at end of brewing cycle: you must program it to shut off. Otherwise, the unit brews a fine cup of coffee.
