I sent them an email and told them the spout of the carafe is defective, when I pour a cup of coffee half of it would end up on the counter, and that was with normal pouring. For the years that I have had it, I have had to pour it super slow and still have a paper towel under the cup to catch the coffee that still ends up on the counter. As stated I contacted them about the carafe and asked if they could send me a new one. I sent two messages, never received a reply back to either one. Last week the coffee maker started leaking from the bottom, so it was time to purchase a new one. I don't even know if Giada still makes a coffee maker, but their lack of customer service definitely made my decision easy not to purchase another Giada product. I bought a Capresso, so far I am very please with it, and the coffee is brewed in 7 minutes and has a beautiful aroma and full bodied taste. It has a stainless steel thermal carafe, so it saves electricity too and keeps the coffee really hot for 3-4 hours after brewing. I would highly recommend.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07174452977004806954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945445785350059474.post-15404154521597290392020-03-25T07:06:59.881-04:002020-03-25T07:06:59.881-04:00I bought this coffee maker a number of years ago a...I bought this coffee maker a number of years ago and it worked great and makes a nice cup of coffee, but the carafe is awful.

Press hour/minute buttons for the brew time you wish. Press PROG again until CLOCK or TIMER disappears. Hold ON/OFF button for 3 seconds to set the AUTO function. The green AUTO light will illuminate to confirm that you have set the timer.<br />I need help too: after only 2 weeks, I broke the carafe to my Giada coffee maker (which I love), called the 866# (which is Cuisinart) and they have none in stock ... Target is my next stop ... Target.com does not show as available.

I tried looking for the manufacture but haven’t found that either so my best guess would be to go to Target and have one opened or look on the box for the 800 number. Sorry I couldn’t help much.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03912847131565403451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945445785350059474.post-36406051421229153292010-12-31T11:37:06.693-05:002010-12-31T11:37:06.693-05:00my son threw away the programmable instructions ca...my son threw away the programmable instructions can someone help me out with instructions or phone number to call to get new ones any help will be appreciatedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945445785350059474.post-61465186903252217532010-06-28T06:31:42.479-04:002010-06-28T06:31:42.479-04:00To the Anonymous Poster who spoke about the Lid, Y...To the Anonymous Poster who spoke about the Lid, You know come to think of it, I have never taken the lid off.

I would've liked to hear about the quality of coffee that the maker produces.. not all coffee makers are made equal and not all coffee makers make coffee equally (if that makes sense) too many times Have I had coffee from a home coffee maker and dang near had to force it down. We had a Krupps coffee maker that made Fantastic coffee it lasted 10 years. I looked at the Giada coffee maker and a Wanger brand coffee maker. The wanger is $20 bucks more but when it comes to taste i'll pay the extra money. I'm all about quality of the coffee not the gadgets or the styling nor features. A taste review would be greatly appreciated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
