Customer Reviews for Cuisinart - PerfecTemp 14-Cup Coffee Maker - Black/Stainless Steel

I purchased this after checking online for recommendations and availability. I got the 14 cup because it was available in-store, although I would have been happy with the 12 cup. I replaced another brand-name with this one and like it soooo much better. It programs easily, looks nice, and works beautifully. I like the water filter feature; happily, the carafe pours smoothly, and doesn't dribble. Although I like the brewing temp of a percolator, this coffeemaker comes very close, and I get to enjoy the convenience of the programable feature. It disassembles to clean easily. This coffeemaker is much better than any other drip brewer I have tried. I am very pleased with my purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

After a few months of use the strap at the bottom of the carafe is peeling, revealing the silver metal under the grey finish. I bought this to replace an older model. I would have preferred the old silver finish, but only the satin grey was available.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

After much looking, and studying reviews, I selected this Coffeemaker. because it had features I was looking for, at a price point I was good with. I like the 14 cup capacity.... sometimes you want to be able to make a big pot of coffee, with company, and it does great with that, as well as an 8 cup pot. I've had a Stainless Steel carafe for quite a few years, and was hesitant to go back to a glass carafe.
But my concerns were unfounded here. It pours very well. No drips. And the machine shuts itself off in 2 hrs... so there's no forgetting and leaving it on.
The programming is straightforward. And we love the copper color of this model. It fits well on the counter - under the upper cab. No taller than our others. I think that pouring water into the reservoir works well. No dripping water there. I am pleased with this product... and gratefully so. Coffeee makers have become disappointing in the last decade. They don't hold up, and cost a small fortune.
If you like to brew straight up coffee in a system that works, without too many extra bells and whistles you may never need, I think this is a good way to go.
We're happy so far.

Coffee is great and love the shape of the pot and ease of cleaning. The lid is lot wider and easier to clean the other competitors. The water guide is larger and also easier to fill. And the outcome is a great cup of coffee!!!!

Better than average coffee maker. Good features include charcoal water filter, reusable gold coffee filter, choice of strength, "shower" type water spray that soaks grounds more evenly than conventional drip, and 14-cup capacity. Features that could be improved include very weak strength unless "Bold" feature is chosen. If one tries to increase strength by grinding the coffee finer, the basket plugs up and coffee overflows everywhere. For those who grind their coffee fresh, this can be a problem. It works well with pre-ground coffee but produces a weaker cup.for 14 cups, a full basket is needed, and this may overflow also.

So far so good! Makes delicious, hot coffee at the perfect temperature. My only two issues so far: 1) When you open up the lid the condensation built up on the lid runs down the back of the the machine onto the counter so I have to have a towel strategically placed while opening to prevent it and 2) the carafe needs a redesign as it doesn't pour well and always has coffee or water left behind due to the lip inside. These two issues are items engineers should be able to easily fix so why they haven't is beyond me. If these two items were fixed I'd definitely give it five stars.

I love my New Cuisinart coffee maker. I have not yet used the clock or timer, but the spout is the best. It pours perfectly unlike my last coffee pot where the spout did not work properly and spilled everywhere. I also like the larger carafe because I make coffee ahead of time in the summer and then put it into the refrigerator for iced coffee.

I love the coffee pot and it works good. However, some of the coating on the coffee pot handle is already coming off.
