Cuisinart makes great large capacity coffeemakers- easy to use, easy to program and good coffee quickly. There is no plastic waste for every cup or fragile pour-over glass being used multiple times quickly when you need 10 cups while still entertaining or working.
Great features, poor reliability. Works fine, but this is the second one that started to leak after only a couple of years of daily use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Excellent coffee maker that produces great tasting coffee. It seems well made, is attractive and easy to use. I use whole bean coffee that I grind fresh before each use. I haven’t used the automatic setting as my schedule changes daily but I assume that it works well. Great choice for a coffee maker.
I would recommend this to a friend!

We’ve used our new coffee maker now for about three weeks and love it. It’s very attractive, easy to program, we love the ‘auto on’ feature, the carafe feels sturdier than others we’ve had and the coffee is delicious.
Worked great for 2 weeks until the pot exploded...

The coffee maker itself seems to work just fine. I have had this item for less than a month. A week ago, the brand new glass pot decided to break while the hot coffee was being brewed. Luckily no one was hurt and I was sent a replacement. I am watching the new one very carefully. It looked as if the glass actually melted.
I owned this exact coffee pot for 18 plus years and loved it. When it began to leak at the bottom, I replaced it with the same new pot. I noticed the new design had more drip holes to allow the water to come down over the grinds. At first I thought this would be good, because it would cover more of the grinds area instead of a slower drip through the center only, of the grinds. But what I have found is that it brews a weaker pot of coffee, rather than bold, as I prefer. So now I always brew the coffee on the "bold" setting, thinking that maybe it will come down slower and brew it more richly, but it still seems to brew a little weak for my liking. Therefore, to get the full bodied or stronger flavor that I like, I have to use more coffee grinds than I always had in the past. This is more costly of course. I think they added too many drip holes with the upgrade. It now has 33. They should have added only a few more. I otherwise like the pot features and its look. I just wish it brewed the same as the old design.
