This is my third Brew Central coffee maker. I like the options available...the 1to4 cup brew, the carafe warming temperature options and the adjustable hour shut off . I do feel that the carafe temperature setting on my latest model is not as hot as my previous Brew Central coffee makers. A bit disappointed. I like my coffee HOT!

This Coffeemaker was purchased to replace an earlier Cuisinart the failed (blew out a rubber line) while de-calcifying. The old unit allowed selection of BOLD or nor Bold. The new unit lacks this feature. Consequently the coffee comes less than satisfying (weak). By adding a paper filter, in addition to the Gold filter, residence time (how long the water takes to pass through the coffee) is longer. The resulting coffee comes out bolder.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had one of these Coffeemaker’s for 12 years before it finally quit. I thought I’d buy another one seeing as I had good luck before. The new one looks nice but it’s cheaply made in comparison to the old one. Cuisinart has cut a few corners by down gauging the chassis material. It’s does make good coffee but the grounds splatter all over the cover during the brewing process and it’s a messy clean up. Brewing sounds violent (boiling water) in comparison to my old coffeemaker. Not expecting it to last very long. Disappointing.

What a great coffee maker! My daughter has one, so I purchased mine after the Keurig machine I ordered died completely after one week. It is very stylish and attractive, easy to use, and makes great coffee! For the first time, i am using the programmable feature. Getting out of bed is much easier when I know my coffee is already made!

This one is okay but it cannot compare to the 14 cup model. The time window is almost impossible to read, the coffee is OK, but not as good as the 14 cup, the digital is much better. However, you say that I'm rather disappointed in cusinart products. I have always been a big fan of Cusin art, I've had some bad experiences recently. My first 14 cup just stopped working and since it was under warranty replaced it. The second 14 cup Smoke coming out of it one morning. So I just unplugged it and threw It away. Then I bought a 5 cup model would label which makes 2 cups actually. Perhaps 2 1/2 Very disappointed.
