Bought this to replace my Bonavita Connoisseur. Makes the same great coffee every time. The carafe keeps the coffee hot for a long time, but it could be improved. Every time you pour a cup, a drop of coffee runs down the side of the carafe and leaves a stain. The lip inside the insulated carafe makes it hard to dry after cleaning. And the lid is also hard to clean.
Could be a perfect coffeemaker if it weren't for these annoyances.
