Rating : - Not a quality product
We bought this a year ago because it looked nice and Cuisinart seemed like a solid brand. The first one we got stopped working after a few days -- the water wouldn't go through and it made lots of steam but no coffee. We figured that was an exception, got another one that worked normally for a year, then broke down just like the first one. In addition the machine doesn't hold enough coffee grounds to make a large pot of strong coffee, and a normal load of grounds tends to jam the holes in the bottom of the lid. Plus, it's hard to pour the water into the narrow little opening on the side. Poorly designed and poorly engineered.

And in addition, don't get the matching coffee grinder. That broke after less than a year -- the blade literally broke off.
