My Cuisinart Thermal coffeemaker is the best!! I make coffee around 7 am and at the end of the day around 6 pm, the coffee is still hot when I pour out any that's remaining. On my old coffeemakers, as soon as I turned off the pot, the coffee was cold. As soon as the coffee is brewed the Cuisinart turns itself off and stays very hot. It makes great coffee - always tastes wonderful. Thanks Amazon, for the great price, too.Nancy, Ormond Beach, Fla.
