Review title: Great coffeemaker, but filling the water is like target practice!
Product review: This is a great machine -- great brewing, temperature, etc -- and it's one of Consumer Reports' top-rated coffee machines. I didn't realize that it came with a free permanent filter, so that's a bonus too. The only negative feedback I can give on the machine is the difficulty of filling the machine with water. I bought this for my elderly father, and he uses a funnel to ensure that there's not a lot of spillage. The carafe's spout is pretty precise and doesn't spill, it's just that you need to aim the water into an opening that's not that much bigger than a 50cent piece.... If it's early in the morning, forget about it!I was trying to see whether this model has a stainless thermal carafe, but I don't think so. I left an inquiry with Cuisinart's customer service, but two weeks later and still no replies.
