I had the earlier model coffee maker for probably over a dozen years and it worked great. I use my coffee maker nearly daily so I was very impressed at the longevity of the machine (though I did have to replace the carafe a couple times, my fault). I bought this latest model and I am hoping for near-similar longevity. I would have paid extra for a model that held water in non-plastic (such as glass) and brewed in non-plastic (such as metal). Instead, they changed the old white outside for a metal outside - wrong place to replace plastic in my opinion. My only problem so far is the new carafe - I need to be very slow and careful when pouring so it does not spill which was not the case with the old design.
Makes great coffee from 4 - 14 cups. Has a button for teeing 1-4 cups, or just turn on for more. Has automatic shutoff, which is programmable to you choice.
This coffeemaker makes great coffee. I like the look of it on my counter. The only thing I do not like is the design of the water fill. There is only one opening to fill the coffee and the water which is not convenient. Most have two separate openings
While the 14 cups coffemaker works great from the first day, I had been frustrated with its leaky spillover when trying to pour coffee with at least 10 cups water level. After contacting Cuisinart about it, they quickly sent a replacement glass carafe, and it solved the spillover problem.
This is a nice large coffee pot that brews 14 cups of coffee. It can be programmed to start brewing when you need it to, so you can have a cup of coffee when you get up. You can also program the hot plate to stay on from 1 to 4 hours. If I have a complaint about this coffee pot you have the option to set the coffee temperature to three different settings, Low, Medium or High, but even on the high setting the coffee doesn’t seem to be that hot. Overall I would recommend this coffee pot, I’ve been using Cuisinart coffee pots for over twenty years and even though they are more costly the some other brands they do last, plus they have a decent warranty program.
Coffe is fine. Unit is larger than I invisioned, therefore need sufficient counter space. I agree with other reviewers that the coffee completed brew beep is way loud and steam coming out the back when coffee is brewing is excessive. Need to pull it out away from overhead cabinets to prevent damage.
