I had a lower cost Mr Coffee that finally died, and replaced it with the Cuisinart. We like the stability and the solidity of the Cuisinart, and it seems to make tastier coffee. The only thing I would change is the basket. I prefer a bowl shaped coffee filter, rather than the V shaped one here. But this is a very minor consideration.
I was tired of the Keurig and wanted to get a programmable coffee maker. This was the choice and I am satisfied with it. No more pods for me. Just a nice hot pot of coffee ready when I get downstairs in the morning.
I have been very happy with my new 14 cup programmable coffeemaker. I saw some negative reviews but so far have not experienced any of them. No problem with heating plate, opening size fine for filling water reservoir, and not exceptionally noisy. Would highly recommend this coffeemaker.
We love our new coffee maker. Very stylish and easy to program. Love that it keeps coffee warm for 2 hours and that you can designate a level of warming. Also like the fact that you can make your coffee with or without a filter. Great product!
This is my 2nd of this model. I love the 14 cup capacity BUT my first one only lasted 2 years and the new one drips after pouring. Probably will be my last purchase of this model.
