Hot plate on duration is only 2 hours. My Mr Coffee was 4 hours & that was perfect. You have to take the carafe lid all the way off to add water. The water reservoir opening is very small and awkward to get to. Don't think I'll be buying another Cuisinart.

This is our second coffee maker along this line from cuisinart, and still does not disappoint. We had previous version over 12 years with no issues, but felt it was time for an update! Great, reliable and awesome for set it and forget it overnight. 👍🏼👍🏼
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very nice Coffee Maker. Makes good coffee. My wife cannot find where we can purchase additional Charcoal Filters when it's time. Make a good cup of HOT Coffee.

I’m very happy with my new Cuisinart coffee maker. Each piece of the unit is well designed. The water filter is a unique feature I appreciate. When the coffee is ready, three tones are heard. When the heat goes off, three tones are heard. The directions are clear. When it is time to clean the unit, there is a separate button labeled “Clean” which will help facilitate the process.

A nice but quirky coffee maker. This is my 2nd or 3rd one of these. A pot a day until something eventually wears out, then replace it with the same model. I've tried cheaper coffee makers with fewer features and they don't make nearly as good of a cup of coffee.

We were extremely sad to be unable to replace our De’Longhi coffee maker. However, my husband researched and purchased the Cuisinart and we are very happy with the brew quality and ease of programming. The Bold setting allows the longer brew cycle that we appreciated in our previous machine.
