Title: convenient, makes good coffee
Review: This is our second DCC-2000. The first lasted about 3 years before the electronic controls quit working. We like the fact that the coffee doesn't "cook" on the hotplate after it's brewed. We also like the method of dispensing, and the taste of the brew (we use 1 tablespoon per cup, plus one extra per batch...e.g. 9 Tbs for 8 cups). We keep it on the kitchen counter, and it's within reach of the faucet/hose, so filling the container with water is simple.I notice there are several changes in this (2010) model vs. the 2007 model: different electronic controls layout, different finish (the painted silvery surface is easier to clean than the stainless sheetmetal in 2007), the brewed coffee container formerly had a flapped spout & now it doesn't, and there is an improved method of catching condensation when you open the lid. AND THE PRICE IS ABOUT $30 LOWER!We'll just have to see if the electronics hold up for longer than 3 years.
Is the review positive or negative?
