Negative Positive
Title: Very dissatisfied
Review: I bought this for the office, believing that the stainless steel would be maintenance-free. Surprise! The carafe stains. The brew-pause feature stops working. It's almost impossible to pour anything from the carafe without dribbling. I called Cuisinart customer service and was told about the once a month regimen of brewing with vinegar, letting the vinegar brew sit for 40 minutes, then scrubbing with a bottle brush. When I rejected customer service's maintenance routine as too time consuming, I was referred to the retailer for to try to return it.Other coffee makers that I own or have owned worked very well with not more than once a year vinegar maintenance.
Is the review positive or negative?
