I've had several Cuisinart coffeemakers and have always been very satisfied with them and the quality of the coffee they produce. This latest one is also very good, but for the design of the pot itself must have changed, sightly. The spout shape is enough different that I'm constantly "dribbling" coffee, while pouring. I've never had the problem with any of the other pots I've used. Otherwise, it's a great coffeemaker, just a little annoying.
After ten (10) years of faithful service we decided that it was time to retire the old coffee maker (a twelve cup Cuisinart) so as to be assured of dependable cup of coffee in the morning. This we did with the new 14 cup Cuisinart. But, we did not discard the old one, we simply it away to "loan" to anyone that needs and emergency coffee maker.
I needed a new coffeemaker as mine was on its way out. This was a great choice. Nothing too fancy, just a good coffeemaker for a good price. It has a few buttons and whistles, which you can read in the description. Happy with the purchase.
Love it! This is my second coffee maker from Cuisinart as the first one was a grind and brew model and lasted for almost 20 years. This coffee maker is easy to use, makes great coffee and looks great on our white quartz countertop.
