Love the option to have a brew from 1 to 14 cups of coffee! Also our choice of temperature. I like hot coffee and the temperature settings are great! The coffee maker is also has a nice sleek design that fits in with my other appliances.
My husband purchased this coffeemaker about a month ago, and I love the flavor of my coffee. It has a replaceable water filter which I feel helps bring out the flavor of my coffee. It's super easy to program and you can control the heat setting if you want your coffee hotter. Recommend this coffee maker along with the Cuisinart coffee grinder, (which we also have). You won't regret it. :)
My 12-cup Cuisinart stopped working after a couple of years of making 6 cups per day and occasionally 10-12 when I had guests. So I decided to get the 14 cup Coffeemaker because I noticed when I wanted 12 cups the 12-cup Coffeemaker would allow the coffee in the hopper to overflow. However, I noticed that the hopper in the 14-cup Coffeemaker is really no bigger than the 12-cup's hopper. You can't call it a 14-cup Coffeemaker if you can't make 14 cups! If you put in the correct amount of coffee using the scoop provided by Cuisinart the coffee overflows in the hopper and you get grounds in your coffee. If I want to make 14 cups when family or friends are visiting, which is often, then I have to make two pots. But wait a minute...I don't have two pots! After years of buying Cuisinart products, I think you may have lost a loyal customer.
