The coffee maker holds 14 cups rather the traditional 12 cups. Unfortunately the basket and filters do not hold enough coffee to make 14 cups. -- if you like strong coffee and I do. I ended up with coffee grounds all over my coffee pot. In addition the blue light is so bright that is lights up the entire kitchen. so far I haven't found a way to turn it down. I do like the ability to get my coffee very hot. Great feature.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Purchased this coffeemaker based on recommendation from America's Test Kitchen. Really like it. Only negative comment is the carafe which doesn't have a hinged top and a somewhat awkward water filling method. The maker lid doesn't hinge back far enough to make it easier to fill.

Got this for a Christmas gift. not even 3 months old and it is leaking water all over my counter. called and they told me I would have to pay to send it back, then another $ 10. to have them send my replacement. I will have to buy another coffee maker well I wait. it will cost me over $ 40. to do all this, when it is not 3 months old. very unset. will not be buying any more!!!

We had a 12 cup Cuisinart prior to buying this 14 cup Cuisinart. We love that it has a 14 cup capacity which is great when we have guests. It has the cone shaped filter which brews a more robust cup of coffee than flat filters. It also has a bold brew feature which allows an even bolder brew by steeping the coffee before draining it into the carafe.
I would recommend this to a friend!
