I am still learning how to use it but so far very easy. Have been using Kerig cups for years and after reading the reviews decided to eliminate them from any further use.
I've had cuisinart coffee makers for years. WhenIt was time to replace, I decided on the 14 cup programmable. The brew strength feature is one of my favorites, as I don't always want or need a full pot. It's easy to use and program, and brews a full pot quickly. My only minor complaint is that the lid to the pot is a bit tight and can be tough to get off to clean and fill the carafe.
piece of junk . stopped working after 6 months. element heats up but no water to basket or pot.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We have had about 6 Cuisinart Coffee Makers over the years (all the same model). So far this latest unit has been very disappointing. The glass carafe fits so snugly with the filter unit that it is scratching the heat plate. We are also noticing that the filter unit is pushing up the lid on the top of the unit. Lastly, we make a full 14 cup pot daily and the grounds are ending up in the pot because the filter unit is overflowing and pushing the grounds up to the top of the filter unit. I am not sure why this one has been so poor.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought a coffee center just over a year ago and the single brew function is totally inefficient and broken. I do not recommend this product.

I ordered the coffee maker because my sister & brother- in- law had it. It is fine. My disappointment is that it is hard to program it to start the coffee. I have read the instructions & have watched youtube videos. I was able to program it 1 time but since the electricity blinked it off I have been unable to program it again. This has been frustrating. My Black & Decker was much easier to program.
