This is the second Cuisinart I have purchased to make coffee. All is well except the carafe. It leaks every time I pour. Too bad that can't be fixed. It's very annoying. Otherwise it's OK.
I purchased this coffeemaker after Christmas replacing a 12 cup Cuisinart coffeemaker. This coffeemaker makes an extreme amount of noise when brewing coffee. When pouring coffee from the 14 cup carafe when it is full, it is almost impossible to not have coffee spill onto the table unless it is poured EXTREMELY SLOWLY. The third problem is just like my previous 12 cup coffeemaker when opening the lid to remove the old filter, water pours out behind the coffeemaker onto the counter top. This last problem could be easily be remedied by the manufacturer by making the lip on the back of the coffeemaker a little deeper and have it go all the way across the back.
Good coffee maker. I have had no issues with it so far after 6 months. The only problem I have is that it takes a while to brew a whole pot. It takes longer than my old Cuisinart.
I was hoping i would like this coffee pot because it had good reviews. Unfortunately not from me. Every time I tried to pour coffee into my cup, the coffee came out all over counter. Same when my husband tried. Even the lid did not close tightly which made it dangerous. Perhaps pot is defective but i had to buy a new machine and throw this one away.
