My new 14 Cup Programable Cuisinart makes loud popping sounds when brewing. Not a pleasant sound to wake up to. The company tells me this is normal for this machine. Not impressed and wishing I had saved money with Mr Coffee or Black and Decker.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bad out of the box

This would have been my second Cuisinart coffee maker. 1st was 12-cup 3400. Great until water wouldn't heat consistently to 195• + at grounds. It lasted almost 10 years. Brand new 14-cup Perfect Temp cannot achieve 180• in/at grounds out of the box. Tried 5x even using 100• tap water.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We’re sorry to hear your new 14-cup Perfect Temp coffee maker isn’t reaching the expected brewing temperature. To help optimize performance, ensure the water reservoir is fully seated, the brew basket is properly positioned, and avoid overfilling, as these factors can affect heating. If the unit still does not reach the proper temperature, our team can review your coffee maker to confirm it’s functioning correctly. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference ticket number 8900539849 for assistance.
