Great being able to enjoy full cups and travel mugs. Really like the reservoir. I grind my favorite beans and great coffee
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

On the plus side it looks good on the counter and makes a good cup of coffee, ready when I get up. The fuel gauge works better than a sight glass which have always stained and become unreadable. I also like the cup filling lever and appreciate the light when filling a cup at o’dark thirty. The removable water reservoir is easy to read but I do have to hold onto it while filling as it’s a little unstable in our sink.
On the other hand, when the lid is opened the condensate drains into the housing and pools around the heating element. Eventually it drains into the catch basin (under the fill space), but I end up using a paper towel to sop it up inside the housing every night. There is no bold setting, which would slow how fast it brews a pot. While the basket will hold 12 scoops of grounds, at normal brewing speeds it can’t drain fast enough and grounds overflow into the coffee reservoir and/or the housing body (with or without a paper filter). A bold setting would slow the brewing and let the basket drain better. We only make 11 cups now to keep that from happening, which is enough for the 2 of us.
Overall we like the machine and I’m hopeful it will prove more reliable than the brand we replaced.

We purchased this to replace a Keurig that was leaking. I love that I can make anywhere from 1-12 cups of coffee with this machine. The coffee stays hot and it is very easy to program. We are very pleased with our purchase! I also love that the Cuisinart comes with a 3 year warranty.

I love the fact that this coffee pot has a self contained decanter AND a setting for 1-4 cups. It makes it perfect for when it is just me and when the gang is over. The self contained decanter also reduces the coffee smell for my husband who has allergies and doesn’t drink coffee. And everything is very easy to clean. I am very happy.

This coffee maker makes life easier! We love not having a carafe to clean and the coffee is always the correct temperature. It's great when we have guests and we love the push button dispenser! Best coffee maker we've ever had!
