I bought this product because it had the highest capacity of all the coffee makers I looked at. The controls are easy to figure out, even for a technologically challenged person like me. Brews a good cup of coffee and I like the BOLD button to brew the coffee a little stronger
I bought this to replace a 5 year old Cuisinart 12 cup coffeemaker that had died.
I went with this model for its large 14 cup capacity and its aesthetics (stainless feint & sides). I found that cleaning the black plastic sides top with Lemon Pledge keeps the unit looking nice.
The “Bold” button and the “1-4” cup settings make it easy to brew a stronger cup of coffee. The new “shower head” design does a better job of saturation all the coffee grounds, rather than having a single exit point for the heated water.
It is easy to set the clock and program the unit. Very simple, so simple that you don’t even need to look at the manual.
The ONLY reason I don’t give this 5 stars is that the area to pour water into the reservoir is a bit narrow. It takes some practice to aim into that area without spilling water. Practice makes perfect.
We are very unhappy with our coffee maker. If we try to brew more than ten cups, the basket that holds the coffee overflows and grounds get everywhere, have to clean the entire coffee maker and have many grounds in the coffee. We are thinking about returning it and buying a different brand!
We bought this a few months ago, and love it. We replaced an old one that brewed it's last drip. We loved the old one so much we bought another. It's the only coffee maker we'd buy.
I have options of making 1 to 14 cups of coffee. I can determine the temperature of the coffee with medium hot or hot options. Love that I can pour a cup before brewing is over.
I purchased this coffee maker about 6 weeks ago and have been so happy with it that I went right out and purchased one for my daughter, she loves it too!
