Title: Not that impressed
Review: It's hard to rate this on its own merits. I had a cuisinart for three years and keep comparing this coffee maker to that one.The Zojirushi's thermal carafe is smaller than I would have liked and its very cumbersome to open- maybe once its broken in a little more it will be easier. There is this weird little "cap" that I assume goes in the top to help keep the coffee warm- it doesn't work very well because the coffee wasn't as hot as my Cuisinart (that stayed scalding hot almost all day). I'm not crazy about having another "thing" to wash and store and otherwise keep track of. It didn't come with a manual...warranty info...just the coffee maker. And the box was torn open inside the Amazom shipping box. Not just a little tear- the whole side was torn from the top to the bottom (didn't anybody notice when they packed it?). It does look nice and is apparently easy to program and use- I did it without the benefit of an instruction manual. Will buy another Cuisinart.
Is the review positive or negative?
