We are currently on our FOURTH version of this model. That's because we literally wear them out with the amount of coffee we make, and we can't imagine switching to a different brand. We love the 14-cup feature, and that it also offers the option of choosing the brew temperature. Yeah, we like LOTS of coffee, and we keep it set on HOT!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Like the title says I like coffee and a lot of it. Not a fan of those type pod type machines. They seem to have such a little coffee in them, anything more than a tea cup is just watered down. Then of course, just more plastic in the landfill. Usually. in the morning I make 6 cup, which I guess is 1 1/2 times my 20 ounce Tumbler can take. Enough that I can have some as I'm getting ready to leave for the day for the car. This is the only one I was ever able to find that I can adjust the temperature which in my case is always the hottest. This has three settings, but why don't you not want it to be hot? This Cuisinart is 14 cups, which is great especially when I have people over and I'm usually going through two of them, and sometimes three at night with a bunch of friends and family. Add coffee and water fast. No flimsy plastic parts that have to be aligned carefully. Also has a charcoal filter that is great since I have well water. I'm sure this helps it quite a bit and the coffee tastes better. This unit has a three year warranty and this is my second unit after I broke the carafe on the first unit after over six years of having it, was time for a new one. I picked up the same exact model. You won't be disappointed.

Just replaced our hold coffee maker with the Cuisinart 14 cup one and it hasn’t disappointed! The coffee is HOT and this mama of 4 doesn’t have to reheat it a million times! We have several Cuisinart appliances and kitchen items. It’s our go to brand for sure.
Easy, straightforward and brews a simple cup of coffee. The carafe is rather thin glass but serviceable. Expecting it to break under minimal use. So far, coffee is good and brews nicely.

Makes coffee very hot, controllable brewing option for bolder flavor, easy settings and cleaning. 2nd one I've owned, had to replace after breaking carafe - too expensive to just replace carafe

Disappointing Carafe Quality Leaks from Metal Band
on April 29, 2026

Gender:Male
I purchased this coffee maker in June 2024, and unfortunately, the carafe started leaking within just a few months. The strange part is that it isn't leaking from the spout or the lid seal; water is seeping out from around the metal band. It seems like there might be a small crack underneath it, possibly from the band being tightened too much during manufacturing. I am really sad to see it fail so quickly, especially since my previous Cuisinart coffee maker lasted over 15 years.
with a full pot, the drips just keep coming from the metal band when trying to pour a cup of coffee
Response from cuisinart.comBy Cuisinart, April 30, 2026
We’re sorry to hear about the leaking carafe on your 14 Cup Programmable Coffeemaker and understand how disappointing this is. We recommend checking that the lid is fully seated, ensuring the metal band hasn’t loosened over time, avoiding overfilling past the max line, and hand‑washing only while avoiding sudden temperature changes, as these can contribute to cracks or leaks. Our Consumer Assistance Center can review replacement options and next steps—please contact 1‑800‑726‑0190 and reference Ticket #8900635476. Thank you for sharing your experience, as your feedback helps us improve quality and durability in future models.

After years of using Keurig pods, I decided to switch, and I'm so glad I did! I absolutely love the design of this Cuisinart coffee maker, it looks great on my counter. More importantly, the coffee it brews is awesome. I definitely won't miss those plastic pods.
