Does a good job as expected. Grind is excellent. I replaced a prior 12 "cup" I owned for 10+ years. Suggestions for improvement: 1) the pour spout spills a bit so improve the pour design. 2) The angle of this model and prior designs require the pouring arm to be raised high - change the angle to make pouring easier. 3) One "cup" is not a real cup so when filling water it's about 1/2 a real cup. 4) the large opening is great for cleaning (& drying) 5) This model does not allow cleaning of the Burr Grind area (the prior 12 cup did allow this)
I would recommend this to a friend!

This coffee maker makes a good cup of coffee, HOWEVER the carafe is a big problem. It leaks whenever a cup is poured despite how tight it is on. Additionally it doesn't keep the coffee hot enough for very long. I am disappointed in the overall quality of this.

Like operation of machine. Cleaning is easy. Capacity for beans lasts for 3 days. However, pot design is not good. 1st pot replaced by Cuisinart with one call. Leaking between top black plastic part of pot where it meets the steel part. Pouring coffee out design is bad also. As coffee is poured with a full pot, coffee comes out of the middle of the top as well as the spout. We have to pour out extremely slow and careful not to spill all over; applies to filling machine with new water as well.

The design of the carafe is awful. No matter how careful or slowly you pour, coffee goes everywhere. Calling customer service was a nightmare. They were rude, not helpful, and just sent me an identical carafe. I pointed out the other reviews on their site that mentioned the same issue and was told they don't read reviews. Hopefully someone does. I'll never buy Cuisinart again!!

I’ve had a Cuisinart coffee maker in my home for over 20 years. Each time one wears out, I replace it with a new model. This is the first time I’ve been disappointed. The upgrades to the old burr grind and brew make it too time consuming and wasteful. I have to clean the grinder after no more than 5 uses - far more than the previous model. The hopper is not removable so to empty it is a chore. I have to scoop out the beans that I can reach with my hand and those already in the chute to the grinder are wasted because I can’t get them out. There’s approximately 1 tablespoon of beans wasted with each cleaning. At the price of coffee today, that is very costly. On a positive note, this machine does make excellent, hot coffee; however, I do regret buying this model.
