I had purchased this make/model coffee maker about 10-12 years ago and used it everyday (give or take a few days here and there). It was consistent; the coffee brewed tasted the same each time. It was reliable over that time-frame; it always brewed to completion whether I used the "brew at a certain time" feature or if I just brewed manually.
After about 10-12 years, the machine started to turn off part-of-the-way through brewing.
In my experience, the life-span (10-12 years) of this machine far exceeded most modern appliances.
When mine started to be inconsistent, I purchased the exact same make/model because I was so happy with the quality of the machine and the brew that it brewed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great coffee maker, easy to use, fast. Would have given it 5 stars but the water level reading is not user friendly, it is internal to the water tank and not visible from the outside. You need to look down into the tank to gauge the water level, difficult for anything less than a full pot.

I had to replace my 10+ year old Cuisinart Brew Central coffeemaker so I bought the latest version of the same model. I love this reliable coffeemaker!

This is my 2nd purchase of this exact coffee maker. 1st one lasted 8 yrs & I came close to purchasing another model but my research kept bringing me back to this model as one of the best. I purchased the stainless but really wanted the silver color which they were out. The stainless works well & finger prints I feared has not been an issue..

Super easy to use and makes great coffee. We needed a reliable drip coffee maker that would allow us to program a start time, without sacrificing quality. I highly recommend this for coffee snobs.

I know there are trendy and fancier coffeemakers out there, but I really like appliances I understand. So when my old Cuisinart coffeemaker started having switch problems, like my needing to hold it down to brew my coffee, I needed a new one. Since my Cuisinart pot had lasted thirty years, I thought I would buy one to last the rest of my life. I just turned 80 last week, so I think this one will go the distance. Thanks Cuisinart for keeping it sleek, reliably simple and functional. Here’s to 30 more good years of coffee drinking!
