I bought this coffee maker about a month ago and quickly realized that unless you are meticulous in inserting the filter just perfectly and also putting the lid on exactly right, you end up with the water not filtering correctly and the coffee grounds go all over the machine. It is annoying to say the least.
My husband an I tried the K-Cup coffee, but we just love a big pot of freshly brewed coffee in the morning. The features on the Cuisinart 14 cup Coffeemaker are just wonderful. The coffee stays hot, but not coffee shop hot which is too much for me. I want a sip as soon as it's poured, not 15 minutes later.
We purchased this coffee maker approximately a month ago in my husbands never ending quest for hot coffee. We have tried numerous styles and brands and prices. This coffeemaker is the winner it is simply perfect! Easy to use beautiful to look at and yes piping hot coffee! Thank you Cuisinart!!
This is my 2nd Cuisinart automatic coffee maker. I loved the first one so I wanted another Cuisinart to replace it. However, this 14 cup one leaves water from the condensation all over the counter when you open the lid to fill the unit....my other Cuisinart did not do this. It's the only thing I do not like about this coffee maker.
