Title: Nice for a small desktop but not built to last
Review: Had this Cuisinart coffee maker for a year now. The coffee was fairly decent in quality compared to some its larger siblings from the same company, but the unit just isn't built to last. First, I had to return this item after a few months since the element stopped heating the hot plate at one point. Second, the plastic rim around the coffee pot now leaks when I try to pour from the pot. It used to take a steady hand to prevent spills before (very easy to do with this model). However, now it leaks not matter what since the sealant holding the plastic to the metal pot no longer holds up and leaks all the time. This after just under a year of use (I use the machine about 3 times a week at work).
Is the review positive or negative?
