I was so pleased with the first coffee maker of this model that when after years of daily use I finally had to replace it, I bought the exact same model which is working like a charm, just like its predecessor !
So sad to now as I am requested to write an opinion, I see that the model that I ordered are being discontinued. I found out that my hand tremor might be related to aluminum toxicity and this model did not have an aluminum warming tube like many other brands and models by Cuisinart. This model has a magnesium tube. Cuisinart has a 14 cup model and another model that did not have aluminum but we only brew 6 cups/day so a 14 cup model would be a bit much. We have been loyal Cuisinart coffee machine users for many years. This is our 3rd. We ordered another one for my brother in law and one for our camper. I hope that Cuisinart develops another 12 cup model without aluminum.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this pot! Lots of useful features. Easy to set up. Would 100% recommend the 12 cup pot for anyone!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had a one for several years , and it finally gave up the ghost. So we bought another one , the same model, 'enough said , we're happy.Came home , made coffee , just like old times.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is 2nd Cuisinart coffee maker after I provided the first one to a friend in need. I was doing minor refresh to our own kitchen, and knew that a new Cuisinart would be a wonderful as the first.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is probably our 7th Cusinairt Coffee maker. They only last a couple of years it seems, so we just keep buying new ones because we like them.
Just received my replacement carafe after our first one broke after only two months. The replacement broke today. The coffee pot itself makes hot coffee and programmable option and auto in/off is convenient. However, the glass carafe is not very think nor sturdy.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
