After many years using single cup brewing, we decided to go back to more conventional brew after seeing/experiencing this machine while visiting friends. Coffee has fuller flavor, served at much warmer preferred temp that keeps it from going cold soon after initial pour. Love the lighted pour feature. It is definitely cleaner - coffee doesn’t splash like with single serve. The programmability and user options make it all-around winner! Rave reviews!
Great Coffee Maker, this is my go to coffee maker. I have purchased about 3 of them so far. They las about 3-4 years and then start to leak at the bottom, but nothing lasts forever. I wouldn't buy another brand or maker.
Second one I’ve received that I had to return. First one leaked the first time I used it, the cord was stuck and wouldn’t pull out far enough to plug in on the second one. I have been using the Cuisinart Coffee on Demand models for over 20 years and really liked them. I will try one last time for a good one and give up on Cuisinart if I get another bad one.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love that the unit doesn't take up too much counter space, and also loving that its carafe free! Brewing is quick & easy. Not sure the gauge is accurate that tells how much coffee is left in the reservoir, but not a big deal. Cleaning is easy.
I liked my first one so much when I bought it about ten years ago that I bought another when the first one was getting old. What I like best is there is no caraffe that sits on a hot plate and burns the coffee and can break and then have to be replaced.
