We received the Cuisinart 14 cup programmable several years ago as a Christmas gift. When the heater plate no longer operated, I knew I would replace it with the same one. Each week I use the programmable setting the night before to begin brewing early in the morning. The other features I really appreciate are the temperature settings for Hot, medium, or low. (I prefer hot.) Plus, a cleaning filter with the lit light when cleaning is needed. A nice feature is the tone to let me know when coffee is ready. I most likely will replace other coffee makers at cabin and TV when they expire.
I like this coffee maker because it brews great tasting HOT coffee and keeps it hot. It is noticeably hotter than other coffee makers we have had. We bought one a couple years ago for our main home and just recently bought another one for our 2nd home. Well pleased with this coffee maker.
I would recommend this to a friend!
