Easy, straightforward and brews a simple cup of coffee. The carafe is rather thin glass but serviceable. Expecting it to break under minimal use. So far, coffee is good and brews nicely.

Makes coffee very hot, controllable brewing option for bolder flavor, easy settings and cleaning. 2nd one I've owned, had to replace after breaking carafe - too expensive to just replace carafe
I would recommend this to a friend!

Disappointing Carafe Quality Leaks from Metal Band
on April 29, 2026

I purchased this coffee maker in June 2024, and unfortunately, the carafe started leaking within just a few months. The strange part is that it isn't leaking from the spout or the lid seal; water is seeping out from around the metal band. It seems like there might be a small crack underneath it, possibly from the band being tightened too much during manufacturing. I am really sad to see it fail so quickly, especially since my previous Cuisinart coffee maker lasted over 15 years.
with a full pot, the drips just keep coming from the metal band when trying to pour a cup of coffee
Response from cuisinart.comBy Cuisinart, April 30, 2026
We’re sorry to hear about the leaking carafe on your 14 Cup Programmable Coffeemaker and understand how disappointing this is. We recommend checking that the lid is fully seated, ensuring the metal band hasn’t loosened over time, avoiding overfilling past the max line, and hand‑washing only while avoiding sudden temperature changes, as these can contribute to cracks or leaks. Our Consumer Assistance Center can review replacement options and next steps—please contact 1‑800‑726‑0190 and reference Ticket #8900635476. Thank you for sharing your experience, as your feedback helps us improve quality and durability in future models.

After years of using Keurig pods, I decided to switch, and I'm so glad I did! I absolutely love the design of this Cuisinart coffee maker, it looks great on my counter. More importantly, the coffee it brews is awesome. I definitely won't miss those plastic pods.

The coffee maker is great, love that there's an option for strong so it does a slower drip. My only issue is that its difficult to remove the lid of the carafe when you want to clean it. I would also prefer if it wasn't a plastic top but other than that, I haven't had any issues!

This Cuisinart coffee maker replaces what I thought at the time when I purchased it would be a reliable unit. After searching for a new coffee maker, this model has several great reviews on being reliable. It also has features that I really wanted.
