Customer Reviews for Frigidaire 12-Cup Coffee Maker-DISCONTINUED

I just bought this coffee pot yesterday while browsing at Best Buy. I love the features accept I have the warmer set for 120 min and do not finish my coffee in that time. I cannot figure out how to turn the warmer back on to keep the coffee hot for awhile longer. The manual doesn't seem to explain that well. Can someone help??

The coffee maker works in all areas well and the coffee is nice and hot. We have it set on strong coffee and the lowest setting on the burner. If we set the burner at medium or high the coffee burns fast and doesn't taste good. It's a nice looking unit and not overly large. The problem is the coffee pot (carafe) drips. It doesn't matter if you pour slow or fast, it will drip every time. There's always a puddle of coffee on the counter and trailing wherever you take the pot. I have to wipe the pot before I place in back into the coffee maker so it doesn't drip on the heating plate and burn. Today while cleaning the carafe I noticed under the plastic ring that caps off the glass and holds the lid, there is a clear silicone seal that I'm guessing is suppose to a. attach the plastic top to the glass and b. seal the two together. Well there is a gap of about an inch and a half and of course the gap is in the pour area near the spout. Could this be causing the leak? Maybe, but either way it is a pain to clean up the counter after every pour.

We love our coffee, our old Bunn NHBB was starting to leak, and lets face it, it's an expensive unit too run having a water heater that runs 24/7. So the search began for it's replacement....after much reading and research we ordered the Cuisinart DCC-1200 Brew Central, later that day a friend told me that her's almost caught on fire!!! back to the internet, searched for that model and fire and surprise, surprise....seems the Cuisinart company has had many an issue with smoking/fire...UPS took that one back!! So back to the drawing board, while picking up a laptop that was being repaired at Bestbuy I spied this little beauty, I know the company well, we have several of their products, never any issues. Let's start from the beginning, the unboxing, it is packed really well, after a quick reading of the instructions we ran the initial cleaning run through..and onto the COFFEE!! We were both really impressed with the temperature of the coffee, it is spot on, for a unit without a 24/7 heater it is truely impressive. The carafe heater has two options, regular and hi, we use high and up too two hours later we have hot coffee. The only negative I can think of is the area where you pour your water in, it is a bit on the small side and fully emptying the carafe can be difficult, but with that being said I will be buying this unit again if and when this unit fails. FYI...to brew ten cups it takes about 8-9 minutes at regular brew strength (nice option) and you can go do other things while you wait, it beeps three time to let you know it's COFFEE TIME !!! You'll have too excuse me...I'm off to get another cup of coffee....
