I bought this a month ago now and should have done some more home work on it, there are a few things they could improve on,(1) No site glass as to how much water you put in so you are just guessing.(2)To much condensation build up on lid when done brewing and has no where to go.(3) The Filter Unit when you take it out to put your filter in does not stand up to put the filter in and your coffee, so I had to find something to put it in, In order for it to stand up and put my filter and coffee in.(4) If you do not get the filter snapped back in it will not seat right with the pot and you will have coffee everywhere.(5) It really brews the temperature a little to hot and you can burn your mouth on it when you take your first sip. Like I said I would have done more homework I am sure there is one out there that meets all of these little things, live and learn, I had a Braun that lasted 12 years with no problem should have gone back to them, we will see how long this one last.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great, reliable coffee maker. I have owned a Cuisinart for approx. 20yrs and when mine quit after all that time I replaced it with basically the same one
I would recommend this to a friend!

We had a brewer that you couldn’t control the heat setting on the plate, which meant the coffee got colder faster. I love the idea that I control how hot the coffee gets and how long it stays hot. Would definitely recommend.

First and foremost the Brew Central 12 Cup Programmable Coffeemaker produces and excellent cup of fresh, hot coffee. I use it with plain tap water but always with the charcoal filter in place, and could not be happier with the consistent and excellent coffee quality. I have a couple of minor gripes, thus the absence of the 5th rating star: The digital display window and all of the exterior function printing is a bit small and difficult for some of us elderly folks to see, and the absence of an external window or indicator to display the tank fill level (available in 14 Cup Coffeemaker) is somewhat inconvenient. All in all it's a really good coffeemaker, and produces an excellent cup of hot coffee.

I like the coffee maker BUT: when I use the gold metal coffee ground filter, it lets a lot of dregs through and into the coffee, and when I use a paper filter (never both at the same time), the coffee maker perks with such force that the grounds are blown up the sides of the filter and, if I want to brew 10 or 12 cups, the grounds are blown all over the inside of the filter area making it a mess to clean up. Why, and what's to be done about it???
