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.

This replaces my Cuisinart Extreme Brew model that was 9 years old and rusted out and leaking underneath. I'm not sure why there is a toggle switch for on/off, instead of the button that my earlier model had. Maybe it's trying to be retro, but it seems kind of cheesy. It's also a little tricky to get the carafe lid to snap on, but it generally works if you do it from front to back rather than the other way around. I generally use the 1-4 cup setting, which makes a reliably tasty cup of coffee.

We have a lot of Cuisinart cookware in our home. They just make good stuff. This is one of the most dependable coffee makers that we have owned. We've owned two in the last several years. It consistently brews an excellent cup of coffee, day after day. The current coffee maker is a replacement, sent to us new, after our coffee maker was determined to be faulty (within the warranty period). Which is to say that not only does Cuisinart produce great coffee makers, but they also honor their warranty with minimal fuss or muss.
I would recommend this to a friend!
