Good coffee maker with plenty of room to improve

Overall this a good coffee maker. I can't say it stands out over the others in any big way. Below are a few things that I wish were better. Most of these things would make the coffee machine more durable and increase the products life cycle. I get the sense this one will be headed to the landfill just as soon as my previous black and decker. I strongly feel the Cuisinart brand should turn their focus to producing more sustainable products.
1) The pot's lid to self-align better for attaching.
2) The pot's lid attaching to the pot. I feel over time this may wear out and not hold to the pot. Hopefully I'm not pouring coffee for my grandfather at the time.
3) The button's, nob's, and switch to be more robust. They just seem a bit cheap.
4) While filling the machine with water: the water fill port, makers lid, and coffee pot do not allow enough clearance to empty all of the water into the machine. I'm not sure which piece is at fault, I can think of a few solutions to the design that would alleviate the problem. I also would prefer to fill the machine while holding the pot in my left hand. With the port on the right side I find myself using my right hand.

Only problem I found is the time it stays on after brewing! My old one was good to 4 hours, this one is only good for 2 hours. If you forget to restart it, you end up with cold coffee.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The previous coffee maker went belly up within 30 days of purchase, the brand shall remain nameless. The glass pot was drippy and the maker difficult to clean.
I am so happy with the Cuisinart, the whole morning coffee experience is so-o-oooo much better! Thank you for thoughtful engineering and attention to details!

We bought this coffee maker because we wanted hotter coffee. The one we had before the coffee was never hot in the carafe. This is a good coffee maker Although sometimes if you fill it up to the max level of water it seems to have an leaking situation.

Pretty much set up as every other coffee maker in regards to programming, etc. I’ve had Cuisinarts in the past and they’ve always been very reliable. I got this one to replace a Cuisinart that was over 10 years old and the coffee pot was starting to separate from the plastic.
I wish Cuisinart would include a new feature for the beeping of the coffee on all models.
This model has a toggle on/off switch, which makes it very easy to turn on and off.
The only con, is when you open up to empty the coffee grinds the water drips down the back of the coffee pot
