Review: Good Value - We had a Cuisinart Thermal for several years. It made good coffee, but the pot lid continually leaked. It was hard to fill the water because of the strange angle. It was reliable so we put up with it. Well, it bit the dust and we got this one for about $40-50 less than a replacement Cuisinart. We like—the ease in the water fill, the pot doesn’t leak at all and the coffee is fine. The display is very hard to read. They tell you to rinse the pot with hot water before making the coffee, and that does keep it hot longer. However, if you have it set for wake up, obviously you can’t do that. It stays pretty hot. The pot is so much lighter and easier to clean than the Cuisinart. We think this was a very good purchase and would recommend it. We have had it for a couple of weeks, we will see about the durability.
Review: Great Purchase! - Purchased for my husband for Christmas. We had a prior GE that was seeing its last day! My husband was reheating his coffee on the stove as he did not like the taste change from microwave. This particle model has functioned very well with none of the prior issues noted from other reviews! This model is easy to use with a reservoir that is accessible and easy to fill. My husband is impressed with the water dispersion which is much improved over our old model with a noted improvement in coffee taste! Note: This model has the stainless carafe and you will be satisfied with reasonable expectations if you preheat the carafe he has found the coffee stays brewed hot for 3.5 hours and is still a good temperature at 4+ hours! No, coffee will not be brewed hot all day long! However, you can have the pleasure of drinking hot coffee for 3+ hours retaining maximum flavor without the burnt taste from microwaving or other heating. We use premium beans and with costs increasing it is an economical way to treat those beans the right way for great flavor and readily available hot coffee. While reviewing others reviews I’ll make the note that the carafe holds 2 quarts of water. You do the math that is 8 measured cups. Most cups are larger including ours so we say 6 cups of coffee! Not the size it says - 12 cups but typical for most coffee makers. We have not noticed much noise except at the end of brewing which to me signals the coffee is ready! Yum! With this model the carafe is easy to clean without special brushes. The spout of the carafe pours easily with no noted drips or spill issues! This coffee maker gets 5 stars for a coffee maker in a great price range with the stainless steel carafe. Features work as described and we’re hoping this machine gives us several years of great coffee! Price $86.93 during Christmas sales in combination with a nice stainless coffee grinder! To us that’s a bargain!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good coffee maker
*by B***R on January 31, 2026*

I purchased this coffee pot in October, 2025 and am still very happy with it. It keeps the coffee very hot for at least 1-1/2 hrs. I love the opening for the water reservoir. It's nice and wide, unlike my other maker. It's very easy to fill. I also like the wide opening on the pot itself, which makes for easy cleaning. There are 2 downsides to this maker - the display is very hard to read. It should be bolder or brighter. Also, there is no alarm to alert when the coffee is done. I did learn that the on light slowly pulsates when it is brewing. When the brewing is done, the light is steady. But, you have to keep checking the pot to see if it is ready. Overall, I highly recommend this coffee maker.
