I ordered the coffee maker because my sister & brother- in- law had it. It is fine. My disappointment is that it is hard to program it to start the coffee. I have read the instructions & have watched youtube videos. I was able to program it 1 time but since the electricity blinked it off I have been unable to program it again. This has been frustrating. My Black & Decker was much easier to program.

This coffee maker has a bright blue light that shows the time. This light is so bright that it is annoying, both day and night . It lights up the whole room it is in and does not dim for evening. Aside from this, the coffee maker has really not changed over the years. If you are a lover of Cuisinart products, this is for you
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from cuisinart.comBy Cuisinart, April 2, 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts on this coffee maker. We’re sorry to hear the display light is brighter than expected—some customers find that repositioning the unit, using ambient lighting, or covering the display during nighttime hours can help if a dimming feature is not available on the model. Thank you for your feedback—it helps us continue making improvements for future models.

The machine is great!!! I love it ! But the reason why I didn’t put 5 stars is because the button that features 1-4 cups doesn’t really do anything! I thought when you click on that button the machine only brews 4 cups and then stops brewing, but even when I push that button the machine doesn’t stop brewing all the water in the tank even if it was filled to ten cups ! The machine keeps brewing all the water till it’s finished. So I don’t understand why that button is for ? Apart from that all is good !

I've had the 14 cup programmable coffeemaker from Cuisinart for more than 3 months and am so pleased with it. It is easy to program, simple to use and most importantly, makes coffee just like we like it.
I watched the video before buying and noticed the woman doing the demonstration used a pitcher (not the carafe) to pour the water in, so I have a dedicated pitcher with a line on it to indicate a full pot, and it works very well. No spills.
I love that we can turn the beeper off for when the coffee is finished - my cat hated it and it was simple to turn it off. The end product is great, it's easy to clean and I would recommend this product.

This Coffeemaker makes a really great cup of coffee. I like the option to choose Bold as well as it's quick perk time and optional beep that lets you know it's ready. Plus I like the features where the drip pauses if you want to pour a cup before the pot is fully brewed as well as the option to make less than a full pot.
It's also so easy to use right out of the box - the programming buttons are intuitive and simple and you don't even need to use the directions, which I really liked. It's a snap to clean and the white and chrome is really sharp looking. I am so pleased with this coffee maker and would highly recommend it.

We purchased this coffeemaker a month ago and I love it. It makes wonderful tasting coffee, utilizing both a gold filter, paper filter and water filter. We also like the ability to do a slow brew, water comes through slower, and it is amazing how much better the coffee tastes. There are more features that I have not used like adjusting the temperature for keeping the coffee warm, the cleaning of the pot and replacing the water filter, which I will be doing this week. I like the look of the coffeemaker as well. I thought the price was very reasonable for all the features this coffeemaker has to offer.

the 14 cup coffee maker is to tall to be able to raise the lid under the cabinet top, it has to be moved out from under the cabinet top to be able to fill with water & coffee. would be better if it could be used without moving every day.
I would recommend this to a friend!
