Works very well, like the variable keep warm temperatures, strength of brew and shut off times. Looks great on granite counter next to stainless refrigerator. Had a previous model for years and when the timer/clock function died, looked specifically for a replacement Cuisinart.!!
I was so excited to use our new 14 cup Quisinart until the first overflow happened. It would not do it every time so I knew it had to be something I was doing wrong. I read the "trouble shooting" advice & bought different kinds grinds of coffee thinking that was the problem but that did not help. Then I realized that the lid was not centered in the middle of the spring as the water tried to flowed thru the pot. Since the pot fits loose on the hot plate it doesn't always hit the release spring above. Now it is fine & I love it.
Purchased on sale - sprinkler head appears to work really well. Pot warmer has 3 settings: awesome! 1-4 cup setting also appears to work really well. Been drinking coffee 50+ years, brewing it almost every way possible. This unit ranks at the top of my experience. Easy cleaning too. I'd buy another in a minute if I needed one.
Love the look and features of this coffee maker, delicious brew. The only thing I don't like is when you lift the top after brewing to clean out the filter there is a lot of water that drips out the back onto my counter top.
On my third Cuisinart 14 cup. When this one gets too old I’ll get another one. For our large coffee consumption needs this is the best on the market for reliability and value.
