A great cup of coffee- UPDATE
This is an excellent coffee maker. The only reason I gave it just four stars is that the reservoir for pouring in the water is in an awkward place and I usually end up pouring some of the water onto my counter. That's a small problem. I love the 1 to 4 cup option and the bold or regular choice. Another plus is how it looks sitting on my counter. I know the crystals don't make the coffee taste better but I love "bling" and who doesn't need a little bling in their life.
Well it was nice while it lasted. It makes great coffee but plastic parts, being plastic, did what plastic does best - it broke. While lifting the lid this morning, the same way I do every morning, one of the hinges broke leaving me with a wonky top that won't close properly. I still managed to get a pot of coffee out of it but its days are extremely limited. I'm in the process of looking for a new coffee maker online and it won't be one with this kind of top. I bought the one with rhinestones and don't know...
Save your money - Buy the Cuisinart DCC-2800 instead
Unless you are just a huge fan of the Swarovski Elements, save your money (about $100 or more) and purchase the Cuisinart DCC-2800. It's the same coffeemaker without the Swarovski Elements - which, to me, look like little faux crystals all along the front. Works great, but not worth the extra money for the "elements".
Wouldn't Buy Abain
Very tacky! Crystals don't show up very well in picture. Bought it because Consumer Reports rated it high. Makes okay coffee but getting water into it is very difficult. You have to push the lid so far back that the springs in the lid gave way after about two weeks and I had to take it apart to fix. Also not an easy job.
