Cuisinart DGB-625BC Chrome Grind & Brew 12-Cup Automatic Coffeemaker

Makes amazing coffee. Gold screen mesh screen works great. The auto start/off and other features really make it the best coffee maker I've owned. Previously owned a Melitta gind and brewer, and various other types, this one is by far the best

Lots of things to clean afterward and it can be a little loud while brewing (close to a hair dryer). Instead of just beeping when it's done brewing it should play a tune

Makes good coffee, most of the time. Keeps it warm for hours in the thermos. I like that it doesn't use power to keep it warm. Grind nicely

after about 18 months (have had 3) an internal spring breaks and the filter door opens and water and coffee spill all over
