Rating : - Not up to standard
I just returned this coffee maker, because the spring on the bottom of the drip unit did not operate properly. The coffee would sit in the grounds basket and not filter down into the carafe. I had 2 previous models that failed in the same manner so I believe there is a design flaw and I am disappointed that Cuisinart does not make a better product.
