Shadysides_LFkThis is what I do. My old machine was programmable though it was also a Cuisineart POS. I find pushing a switch takes zero effort if I grind and set up before bed.
Totally. I had to immediately do the thermos transfer or it was ruined. I still can’t believe how many counters I see it on! It didn’t last long in my house.
Dodie85I’ve had mine for 12 years and always recommend it
salaciousremovalSame. This is really reliable and consistently brews a really good pot fast. We descale every few months, maybe 3x year if I’m good about it.
South-Helicopter-514This is what we bought last year when our 10 year old KitchenAid was slowly dying (do not take that as an endorsement of KitchenAid lol). We love it!
terptrekkerI have this one. Curious how you deep clean it?
trUth_b0mbsCuisinart drip programmable coffee machine. Replaced mine last year after 23 years. Mind you, I regularly maintained it and deep cleaned every 3 months

App-controlled customization, but unreliable and finicky interface.
