I have tried several small kitchen appliances but they never last and usually they just don't do the job they are supposed to do correctly. Cuisinart is totally different. Not only are they a beautiful addition to my kitchen, they do what they are supposed to do with perfection and they are very, very durable! I'll never purchase any other brand small appliance for my kitchen again...ONLY Cuisinart will do for me!
Like the machine itself. The instruction manual doesn't clearly show what all the icons on the screen actually mean. Making the four legs higher was good as I had to get rid of my old Cuisinart because water accumulated below unit and rusted out the bottom metalplate.
This coffee maker is a good value for the price and it makes good coffee. It doesn’t take too long to brew and the coffee comes out at just the right temperature for me. It is a basic coffee maker nothing fancy but it is all I need.
This coffee maker was our second in 20 years. The first one lasted 15. The second one has started to rust on the heating plate in the last 3-4 years. The finish on that the coffee maker handle is also not holding up. I’m so disappointed. We were dedicated Cuisinart customers… now we are sad that the quality seems to have gone downhill.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We have had a grind & brew for many years and finally decided to get a new coffee maker. The Cuisinart model served us well so we bought another without the grind feature as we found a great sale on it! Makes great coffee.
