After owning the Cuisinart 4 cup for probably 8 yrs it began leaking from underneath. My daughter has the newer version of the 4 cup purchased this past year and it, too, brews delicious coffee. The 5 cup made the worst coffee ever. No matter how I adjusted the grinds, the coffee tasted flat and weak. Sadly, I returned it. I miss my 4 cup but it's discontinued.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Awesome little coffee maker! Wish the cord was just a bit longer but overall great tasting coffees made and drink up quick as the machine will turn off and not keep coffee warm for long...however when it first comes out it is nice and hot!! So worth the money!
This is a small capacity pot with a maximum of five cups of coffee. It makes very flavorful coffee. My only complaint is that the hot plate under the pot is extremely hot, and after you pour out the first cup, it seems that the remaining coffee boils on the hot plate. It shuts off after a half hour, probably a good thing. If you live alone, this is a good size for you, but for more than one person this coffee maker will probably be too small.
Convenient and easy to use. This is our new travel coffee maker because we are not convinced hotel coffee makers are clean and the coffee is typically lousy. This is a great machine but would be better with a timer.
