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.

Third Cuisinart coffeemaker I have bought over the years, and they have worked well. I understand the aesthetic reason for the retro design, but having to look down the water chamber to see the water is a little tedious compared with the transparent column on the side in later design models that tells you where the water level is.
Overall, it dependably makes good coffee, but the retro design is a little bothersome.

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.

It is replacing another machine that has had a long and useful life, but was just getting long in the tooth! I liked it and that is why I replaced it with the same coffee maker.
