Coffee maker makes very good coffee but there are several problems with it. For one thing it leaks when you pour the water in the receptacle at the top and so you end up with less coffee than you expected. Ironically, the reason I got rid of my old Cuisinart was because it was leaking badly. Secondly, the lid to the carafe is almost impossible to get off. The old Cuisinart coffee maker I just got rid of had an indentation in part of the handle toward the end that allowed you to easily lift it off the carafe. There are few other oddities about this device but those are the two most troublesome.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're glad to hear that you're enjoying the quality of the coffee, but we're sorry to learn about the issues you've experienced with the coffee maker. If water is leaking when filling the reservoir, we recommend pouring slowly and confirming the reservoir lid and surrounding components are properly seated, as excess water around the fill area can sometimes affect the final brew volume. For the carafe lid, ensuring it is aligned correctly before removal may help, though we understand your preference for the easier lid design found on your previous model. Please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190 and reference Ticket #8901044132 if you would like additional assistance.

Clear buttons and easy to use. I only wish that when I turned on the delayed brew the time would stay displayed for 3-5 seconds so I can see what time it is set for. Quit trusting of me to rely on what I last set it for when I cannot read the time. I am usually right, but just saying. . . visual confirmation is good.
What a nice coffee maker because I did'nt know what I was missing in the recent past while using a Mr Coffee coffee maker for years.The coffee from our new Cuisinart programmable Coffee Maker tastes so much better.As expensive as coffee is these days it save to use the programmable four cup amount as there is not as much waste of coffee.5 stars!

This is my wife and mine 2nd 14 cup maker! Last December I purchased the 12 cup maker At Walmart, but I didn’t read i assumed is programmable auto turnoff up to four hours. I’m keeping that one for a spare.

I love my new coffeemaker. Cuisinart makes a great coffee machine. The fact it makes up to 14 cups of coffee is amazing! The coffee is so much better. Love the water filter.. makes the flavor better. Easy cleaning. You can have it shut off for 1 hour up to 4 or more. So you don’t have to worry about leaving your coffee maker on when you leave the house. Its quality is superb! Not cheaply made. Love this coffeemaker.. it’s a winner♥️
Prepares bold, flavorful coffee consistently every time. It's a joy and very easy to clean so that each cup tastes great each time. The coffee maker is a quality product.
