We had to replace our previous Cuisinart coffeemaker (coffee filter holder broke and was not replaceable). We purchased the new 14 Cup 3200 Cuisinart and absolutely LOVE it! It makes coffee than our previous Cuisinart (10 cup) and it keep the coffee steaming hot for 2-3 hours after brewing (glass carafe). It's easy to use and easy to clean. Some have complained how difficulty filling with water. Not a problem. Use a slim 2-4 cup measuring cup, and not the carafe, and it fills easily. We definitely recommend this coffeemaker. Good job!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice coffee maker, but beware, it probably will only last two years. ( I should know, I’m on my fourth one in seven years !) They’re cheap enough that replacing them is no big deal, just inconvenient.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Here's the main thing you need to know about this coffeemaker: It brews an outstanding cup of coffee and you won't be disappointed if you buy it. I've owned a variety of coffeemakers and this one is hands down the best I've ever had. I've been using it for a month now without any issues and can honestly say I look forward to my morning coffee every day.
The machine is chock full of nice features but is really simple to operate. Don't be put off by all the buttons on the control panel. Programming the clock and auto-on timer is a snap and you can customize the brew if you like stronger coffee by pushing the bold button. If you don't want a lot of coffee some mornings but want to maintain the brew strength, there's a setting for making 1-4 cups -- just push another button. The unit can keep your coffee hot for up to four hours before automatically turning off and you can also adjust the warming plate temperature to low, medium or high to maintain brewed coffee at the temp you like. Like most coffeemakers these days, you can momentarily pause the brewing process by removing the carafe and pouring yourself a cup. One of the features I particularly like is the no-drip spout on the carafe. Every other coffeemaker I've owned managed to drip a drop or two or three from the spout at the end of a pour. This Cuisinart has yet to dribble the first drop. Another nice feature is a red warning light that illuminates when the machine detects it's time to clean/decalcify. The process is made easy by adding the indicated amount of water and white vinegar to the reservoir and then pushing the clean button. The coffeemaker does the rest.
Some reviewers have complained about the five beeps that sound at the end of the brewing cycle. The beeps last for only a couple of seconds and I don't find them annoying, but if you find the feature bothersome it can easily be turned off. The one minor complaint I do agree with, though, is filling the water reservoir. The reservoir is filled at the right rear of the unit but when the lid is open there's not a lot of room to maneuver the large carafe so that it empties. With care, it is possible to do it but I find it easier to use a large kitchen measuring cup and fill it a couple of times. The measuring cup is small enough to work in the tight space. Regardless, this is a small quibble.
Coffee drinkers are particular folks and it will take some experimenting to find the combination of coffee, coffee grind, water and filter that works best for you, not to mention if you like your brew bold or regular. The Cuisinart comes with one replaceable charcoal water filter, a permanent gold-tone commercial-style filter and several disposable paper filters. You can use either the permanent filter (my choice) or a paper filter. My choice of water is filtered water from the refrigerator. Oh, and you also get a Cuisinart coffee scoop.
To sum up, this Cuisinart makes a really great cup of coffee and is versatile enough to please the most demanding coffee drinker.

We have a Krups but also like being able to brew a whole pot of coffee. And this maker is perfect. Had a similar one before this one and it worked well for a few years then finally died. Are happy with this new one.
