I bought the Cuisinart 12 cup programmable coffee maker about 5 weeks ago. I am so pleased with this coffee maker. The coffee maker is easy to use and I can take the holding tank out to clean it. It is easy to fill with water (I use distilled water). I also use it to make hot water for tea.
I had the best basic Cuisinart coffee maker for 20 years until it broke and I had to purchase a new one. I was excited to get a Cuisinart once again but to my sadness it broke within 6 months and a replacement sent to only break again so this is my third replacement. I am hopeful but they do not make them the same anymore. It is a shame to waste manpower, raw material, time, gas to ship and money just to have a very temporary product that will fill a landfill. The earth deserves better and your company really needs to have a quality control so as not to waste. I know you want to make money but this can't be the way for anyone in the long run.
I have been having this for a few weeks. I appreciate the fact that the water and coffee reservoirs can be removed to wash. The coffee comes out piping hot.
This is my second one of this Cusinart coffee machine. The first one finally gave it up after almost 7 years. I love the ability to make one or 12 cups, easy programmable settings and the ability to keep it hot for up to 4 hours. It is extremely difficult to find a coffee machine that does not require a carafe. Most without the carafe are espresso or 2-4 cup. I really love this particular model coffee machine
This is our third in about 15, so we obviously love, especially not having a carafe! Unfortunately thus last purchase has some technical programing faults with the auto brew setting. We have figured out hiw to adjust, but still disappointing after all those years of perfection.
