... very expensive coffee maker that we expected would be excellent. As it turned out

This was a very expensive coffee maker that we expected would be excellent. As it turned out, we were very disappointed. I read the reviews prior to purchase and was told that the carafe had been improved and would keep the coffee hot; it did not. The first cup was hot as expected but subsequent cups were lukewarm. Another disappointment about this coffee maker was the amount of coffee we had to use to obtain the desired strength; twice what we had used in previous coffee makers. All in all, I would not recommend purchasing this appliance.
