I have used this coffee maker for a while now. The first unit was replaced around 2 years after purchase according to the Cuisinart warranty. The replacement process was fast and easy! I love this coffee maker because of the pot size (14 cups), programmability, and the ability to adjust temperature and the length of “on” time to meet my needs. I also like that the settings are retained after brief power outages including the need to unplug! My only dislike is that the brew complete signal is rather faint and almost seems to be louder when turning off.
I truly loved this coffee pot. Everything about it. Taste of coffee especially. Until the unattached top came off while pouring. Burnt my hands and made a total mess. This is a hazard. Happened more than once. The top of the pot should be attached!
The Cuisinart 14 Cup Programmable Coffeemaker is well-designed with an illuminated function display and a water-level indicator on the side panel indicating the number of cups.
