Negative Positive
Title: we're returning it and exchanging for Cuisinart's Brew Central 12cup
Review: Yes, there is a plastic smell. It is coming from the base, which sits on the burner (why?!). Heat plastic, plastic burns, smells like burnt plastic - duh!The carafe is a terrible design - the collar around the top prevents you from pouring the last half a cup, so you have to turn the thing upside-down to get all the coffee out. Dumb.Looks great, makes good coffee, but these are fatal flaws. Bummer.
