This is the coffee drinker's coffee machine. The 14-cup carafe is large, but I don't have to make two pots now. It has an internal cover for where the filter & coffee are added so there's no mistake water spill-over when filling the reservoir. Large display, easy to program, I thought I wouldn't use the +30, but I do all the time. In past coffee makes I've used H (hot) for the hotplate temperature, not this one. M is hot enough! Nice machine, great value.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a great coffee maker but the bold function doesn't really work and the pot design doesn't allow you to empty it completely. Otherwise it's a fantastic maker

We’re sorry to hear about your experience with the PerfecTemp® 14-Cup Coffeemaker and understand your concerns with the noise level and durability. For optimal performance, we recommend placing the unit on a stable surface and regularly descaling, as buildup can sometimes affect operation over time; however, it’s not expected to stop working so soon.

Leaks when pouring. Carafe is poorly designed. I’m contemplating returning it.

I have a Cuisinart coffee maker. In fact it is the third one under warranty and it too failed right out of the box. Whenever you call, they offer to send another one, but it fails for the same reasons. I don't recommend Cuisinart products to anyone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this coffee pot! Has some great features! I had an older version of this coffee pot and was sad when it started leaking! I bought this as the replacement and am very happy so far! The look is sleek and modern, easy to navigate, measuring spoon included (it’s ok) ,and I am looking forward to using the Over Ice feature! My only concern is that the lid does not lie flat. It bows a bit; not sure what that’s about. It does not impact the flavor of the coffee so I am going to get over that!
I would recommend this to a friend!
