A week after unboxing, the clean light went on. Descaled with vinegar per instructions, and a week later, the clean light is back on. Hoping this isn't a fatal flaw.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the clean light returned so quickly after descaling. Please make sure to follow the full descaling process outlined in your instruction booklet, as simply brewing a vinegar and water mixture may not reset the unit to recognize that it has been cleaned. We understand how frustrating this can be, and your experience has been shared with our team for review. Please note that this coffee maker is covered by a limited warranty, and if you feel your unit is not performing as it should, our Consumer Service team at 1-800-726-0190 is available to assist.
Two issues that are not good. The carafe drips when you pour the coffee. The carafe does not stay hot even with the temperature setting on high.

Previously we have been using Mr. Coffee, coffee makers. Our new Cuisinart is faster and the coffee seems very flavorful. We are glad we made the change. Easy controls and programming.
Give this coffee maker a zero. coffee maker is junk. Glass coffee pot will not let water flow through filter holder making a Hugh mess inside coffee maker. Sending back for refund.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that water was not flowing properly through the filter holder and caused a mess—it’s understandable how frustrating that must have been. Please ensure that only one filter (either the included gold-tone filter or a paper filter) is used at a time and that all parts are properly aligned, as this can help prevent overflow. This coffee maker is backed by a limited warranty, and our Consumer Service team at 1-800-726-0190 is available to review your concerns and provide assistance if needed.
Makes an average cup of Joe. The "cups" in the machine are much less than an 8 oz cup. The lid to the carafe is cumbersome to use, it doesn't hinge at all and one has to be careful not to spill the coffee, also the lid pops off making it cumbersome to remove and clean. Takes up a lot of counter space, have to bring it out from under the cabinet to lift the machine lid.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the carafe lid and overall usability have made your experience less convenient—it’s understandable that the cup measurements felt smaller. In the coffee world, a “cup” is traditionally measured as 5 oz, which is why the servings may seem smaller than an 8 oz cup.
