I BOUGHT THIS COFFEE MAKER IN RED THIS PAST JANUARY, 2009. WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF RECEIVING THE COFFEE MAKER IT BEGAN TO SOUND LIKE IT WAS GOING TO BLOW UP EVERYTIME I MADE COFFEE. I AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT HATES TO RETURN SOMETHING I BOUGHT ON THE INTERNET PLUS THE FACT THAT IF I SENT IT BACK I WAS GOING TO BE WITHOUT A COFFEE MAKER UNTIL IT WAS RETURNED TO ME. IT IS NOW MAY, 2009 AND THE COFFEE MAKER HAS TOTALLY QUIT WORKING. THE SAD THING IS THAT MY LAST COFFEE MAKER WAS A CUISINART AND I HAD IT FOR APPROXIMATELY 6 YEARS WITH NO PROBLEMS, SO THIS WAS A REAL DISAPPOINTMENT TO ME AND MORE THAN LIKELY I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CUISINART PRODUCT.
