I had very high hopes for this coffee maker. I loved the features— 1-4 cups, bold setting etc. Unfortunately, the coffee grounds basket does not drain all the coffee. There is space between the basket valve and carafe so the coffee does not drain into the pot. I have washed the basket and the coffee maker to no avail. If we cock the carafe off of the heating plate it will drain, but then the coffee does not stay hot. I am returning the coffee pot to where I bought it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The 14-cup programmable Cuisinart Coffee Maker is incredible!!! This is probably my third of this particular coffee maker and that has nothing to do with the quality. I use mine daily and the ones I have owned in the past have just finally “aged out”. What do I love about it? I can adjust the temperature (love my coffee very hot), I can set it to stay on for four hours, and the coffee is delicious!!! And, of course, I appreciate setting it to brew right before I awake in the mornings. I have recommended this particular coffee maker to many friends and all have been pleased with their purchase. I can’t recommend it more highly!!!!
New coffee maker has been designed with simple buttons that start or stop brewing precisely. Coffee is ready in a few minutes and delicious. It stays hot but does not overcook. The new sleek material of the coffee maker sets it apart from the previous models. It’s beautiful and easy to clean!

This is without doubt the best coffee maker on the market. If your coffee is important to you and you measure out your water and coffee for perfectly consistent coffee, then this is the last coffee maker you will buy. I get the same exact, perfect cup of coffee every time. Ron
