Great coffee pot with fantastic controls. Keeps the coffee at a great temperature.
2 drawbacks-only keeps the coffee hot for 4 hours.
Even in the full upright open position, the lid makes it difficult to pour all of the water in the carafe into the reservoir.

My new 14 Cup Programable Cuisinart makes loud popping sounds when brewing. Not a pleasant sound to wake up to. The company tells me this is normal for this machine. Not impressed and wishing I had saved money with Mr Coffee or Black and Decker.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We’re sorry to hear that the popping sounds from your 14-Cup Programmable Cuisinart have been disruptive and understand how that can be frustrating.

I purchased this coffeemaker after Christmas replacing a 12 cup Cuisinart coffeemaker. This coffeemaker makes an extreme amount of noise when brewing coffee. When pouring coffee from the 14 cup carafe when it is full, it is almost impossible to not have coffee spill onto the table unless it is poured EXTREMELY SLOWLY. The third problem is just like my previous 12 cup coffeemaker when opening the lid to remove the old filter, water pours out behind the coffeemaker onto the counter top. This last problem could be easily be remedied by the manufacturer by making the lip on the back of the coffeemaker a little deeper and have it go all the way across the back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am on my 3rd Cuisinart 14 cup coffeemaker, not because I have one in each of my vacation homes either. I love the capacity of this pot and the speed at which it delivers my morning cup. However, the way the condensation runs out the back of the maker every time I open the lid to refill the chamber is getting a little better each time I buy a new one. A small molding modification in the plastic that would force the condensation down into the chamber would solve this. Also, the pot has shorted out twice on me. Yes, smoke (no fire) to the point that I had to toss it out in a snow bank last winter. This happens after the brew cycle is complete and the maker is just heating.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is my third Cuisinart coffee maker and it is the best one yet. It brews hotter which makes my coffee taste better.

Blue light disaster

Makes good coffee however the blue light is a disaster. Blue lights are horrible for dark rooms, blinding as many know any color is better than blue, i will return this for that reason.
We've had a cuisinart coffee maker for years, it had a small red and green light which was perfect. This thing light up the room like a billboard blinding anyone walking into a dark room.

I love this coffeemaker! I ditched the Keurig and replaced it with this one. The coffee is stays hot, tastes great and the machine does not take a lot of counter space. I’ve had several drip coffee makers in the past, this is my favorite!
