I have only owned the unit for 3 weeks and have not yet made one good cup of coffee.I have tried only two brands of coffee that I have liked for years and they always seem bitter. In addition the coffee does not stay hot for very long in the thermos, but it looks nice.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Let me begin by saying that I have only owned Cuisinart coffee makers for the last 15+ years. My grind and brew coffee maker is a workhorse that makes incredibly delicious coffee. When I moved 2 months ago, my 12 year old Grind and Brew system (which still works perfectly!) was too big for my space, so (because I am a brand-loyal person) I came directly to Cuisinart to find a replacement machine that fit. Long story short: I purchased the PurePrecision coffee maker and was bitterly disappointed. The first 2 weeks, the coffee (Starbucks blonde roast) was all but undrinkable! It was incredibly tangy - which research told me that the water was pouring through the grounds too quickly. I tried changing the brew strength, the temperature, the filter type (gold, paper, laser cut steel) . . . . . nothing worked. I tried brewing the same coffee in the 12-year old machine - and the coffee tasted perfect! I have sense purchased 2 additional brands and types of coffee (Starbucks Espresso and Peets Italian) - both of which resulted in better tasting coffee; however, the coffee tastes nowhere near as good as I expected from this manufacturer. Given the purchase price of this machine, I cant justify spending the same amount/more money to replace this machine. Instead, I have had to make do with coffee that is not up to the standard I have come to expect from this brand. I am less than impressed with this particular machine.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The lid is not very secure. I noticed this when I was rinsing the pot, the lid completely fell off when I tipped the pot, luckily there was nothing hot. A warning to others.

Beautiful coffee maker and worked as was supposed to the first few times. Coffee maker still works but the “bloom” does not.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's a nicely built machine, but I was hoping for more. Seems the coffee is just average, similar to my cheap coffee maker. Maybe I had my hopes too high for restaurant quality? Any suggestions?

The coffee pot does not keep the coffee hot. I’m very disappointed.

Not really what I hoped for. Doesn't have a real alternating seep cycle like the KithenAid, resulting in a bland taste. Also the water markings on both carafe and water tank are useless. AND there is NO ready tone.

I am right handed and it is awkward pouring the water in the reservoir since it is on the left side. I also don’t like that you can’t smell the coffee while it is brewing.
