Review title: Poorly designed & below average coffee
Product review: We have had this coffee maker for four months. When getting coffee before the brewing cycle is complete, the flow of liquid is supposed to stop while the carafe is removed. I noticed that clear hot water keeps flowing onto the hot plate around the side of the valve that stops the coffee while the carafe is removed. It obviously is seeping between the brewing basket and the cavity it rests in. It appears this is due to the badly designed plumbing in the lid hinge. I estimate that about a third of the hot water never makes it through the grounds.In addition the water only reaches about 165 degrees, far below optimum brew temp. Cuisinart makes some good products but this is not one of them. Wish I had bought a Bunn.
