I’ve been through many different brands of coffee makers and so far Cuisinart is the best. The coffee is hot as soon as it’s done and stays hot. I use fine ground coffee (grocery store type) so make sure you don’t use the paper filters provided. It was nice to see them added to the product along with a coffee scoop. Didn’t expect that. I got the 14 cup maker and very satisfied with it. The maker brews quietly and does alarm when completed. I will purchase again.
I have been using Cuisinart appliances exclusively for the past 10 yrs. I love the features of both the coffee maker and the 4 slice toaster. The bold feature for coffee is very convenient for those who like a stronger brew. The toaster as well has useful features depending on your different bread types. Great products!!
