This is the second time we purchased this same coffeemaker, the first one lasted almost 12 years but when we purchased the exact one to replace it it only lasted a 3 years, so disappointed in the quick failure compared to what I have come to expect and rely on from Cuisinart, it truly makes me question purchasing one of their products in the future!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

While it is nearly impossible to believe with this replacing my old unit, I hate this one. Several times we have had flooding over of grains and coffee it we happen to now push the plastic basket holder for the filter into a tiny slot and be sure we push it down all the way or it fails to open the button valve on the bottom to flow into the coffee pot below. Cleaning this mess is a hour long process that leaves residue no matter how hard we try. HATE THIS! You need to redesign this flaw this a drop it in and drop the lid.

This coffeemaker is great with two surprising (though slight) flaws. The first is, the lid on the coffeemaker won't go back far enough for you to pour all the water out of the pot into the maker. It takes a bit of experimenting to find an angle that will work. The second is, because of the plastic rim around the lip of the coffee pot, you can't get all the coffee into your cup, some gets stuck behind the plastic ridge. Otherwise, it's a pretty decent coffeemaker.

I have had to replace this coffee pot 3 times because of the heating plate chipping. Just received my 3rd replacement and it is chipping also!!! All within the last year. Never buying this brand again!

Less than a year after purchasing coffeemaker, water started running out of the bottom for no apparent reason. Tried tightening screws, but didn't help. Have to buy a new coffeemaker, not happy.

The coffee basket backs up and overflows spilling water on the burner and grounds in the coffee despite type of filter and firmly pressing the basket down.
