I purchased this coffee maker because I wanted the backlit display. It replaced an 8 year old Cuisinart 14 cup. This unit is MUCH louder than my old coffee maker which can be bothersome to others when coffee is made early in the morning. Yesterday it didn't percolate coffee at all so I used my old one and verified the difference in noise. Between my home and small office, I've purchased more than six Cuisinart coffeemakers and I'm disappointed with this one's quality. Not up to Cuisinart's historical standard.
The best drip filter coffee maker I’ve ever had. Set the timer and coffee is ready in the morning. I use paper filters and they are easy to remove and discard. Have no regrets about purchasing this coffee maker.
Looks pretty. Makes 14 cups. Doesn't make very good coffee. Excessive steam comes out of the top and will probably ruin my cabinets. Unfortunately, I don't have any place else to put it except for under the cabinets. I tried to return it when I discovered this issue however the store where I purchased it had a 14-day return policy and wouldn't take it back.
