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

I was looking for a good automatic coffee maker. The Cuisinart was favorably reviewed and has lived up to its ratings. The directions are clear and the machine has proven easy to use, producing good coffee with minimal effort. I really like the little valve on the brew basket that prevents drips when the carafe is removed- small point, but much appreciated.
If I have a bone to pick (complaint is too strong a word), it would be that the information provided is too simple. For example, how large is a "Cuisinart cup". I believe the answer is 5 ounces, I didn't find that in the directions. Maybe it's a nit to pick, but we make two 16-ounce "cups" of coffee each morning. In Cuisinart terms, that's 6 cups of water. I still don't know how large a Cuisinart "scoop" of coffee would be in standard units. I will eventually find out, and hasn't affected the quality of my coffee in any material way, but it might make life easier as I try to adjust the brew for different coffees.
All in all, it is a well made coffee maker that is easy to use, easy to keep clean, and produces a good cup of coffee without much trouble. I am pleased with the product. If there is a better product out there, I believe that the discussion would enter into realms of coffee-brewing "religion".

I've had about a month now. Love the fact that it is 14 cups but that it doesn't take up any more width on the counter. My boys noticed the larger size and liked it. a few more amenities like the tone on/off, bold, and clean settings. I ordered the stainless and got a great deal on it.

I had to replace my previous cuisinart and I’m so glad I stuck with this brand. This coffeemaker is easy to set up and the cofffee stays piping hot. Even the last cup tastes as good as the first. No burnt taste that causes waste. Highly recommend this 14 cup model. Convenient when entertaining large crowds too.

This coffeemaker replaces a Cuisinart Brew Central 12-Cup that I had for several years. I'd had another Brew Central for several years before that one, so I thought I'd do a slight upgrade and get the PerfecTemp this time. I read a review somewhere that said this model makes better coffee than the Brew Central. At the time, I thought, how different could they be? But I think I agree with that now that I have the PerfecTemp, even though they do seem like essentially the same coffeemaker except for capacity and a couple of other features. I like the buttons on the PerfecTemp better. Not sure if the "Bold" feature truly makes a difference--I haven't performed a test--but I use it, and the coffee is good.

I bought this a few weeks ago to replace my Keurig. I've used Keurig for around 10 years and enjoyed the convenience, but convenience comes at a price (both the cost of the pods and the plastic going into our landfills). I began researching drip coffee makers and came up this Cuisinart. It looks good on the counter, has nice features (I like the timers for setting up my coffee the night before and the option to keep the hot plate on for two or four hours, and the "strong" coffee option). It makes very good coffee, although took some trial and error to find the coffee I like and amount to put in. I found using paper filters to be better than the metal filter that comes with it, mostly because I can easily through away the paper filter/used grounds when done. I am very happy with my purchase!
