Great for brewing coffee!

I’ve already been brewing coffee in this Cuisinart Classic Cuisinart DCC-100 for about 2 years now and I like it a lot.

I like it's small footprint and basic design. But at first I was a bit confused why it often leaked a watery grind-filled mess on the counter.

Then I realized that if the basket isn't snapped very firmly into place before brewing begins, it's going to leak.

There’s a little tip for you. But if you hear the snap and it feels firmly locked before it's turned on, it works perfectly.

After a few months it is broken in and snaps into place much more easily, but still maintains that strong, tight seal.

I haven't had this problem ever since, although I still automatically check it to be sure it's lined up and locked.

The coffee is excellent. The only downside it that it is difficult to read the side water gauge and it's a bit awkward pouring the last cup from the carafe. Aside from that, the taste and the whole package is aswesome!
