This is my third Cuisinart coffee maker for a reason, it brews the best coffee! I have no complaints with the product, but I am a little disappointed with the esthetics, it could have been designed with a more stylish image, and a smaller clock, that doesn't glow a big bright blue, not very sophisticated or classy, which is what this product deserves!
Smaller than anticipated. Seems like very thin material...gets very hot on the exterior on all sides. Was expecting something a bit sturdier for the price.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We are sorry the size and material did not meet your expectations, and we understand your concerns about exterior heating. We will be sure to share your comments with our product team for consideration in future designs.
Controls are not intuitive. You will need to read the manual. Cord storage cleats are too long causing it to take up more cabinet space than necessary.
