This is the third coffee maker of this type I have owned. They last for years and every time I have one go out, I don't bother to research brands. I come right back for this one. I really like the 14 cup capacity of the carafe, especially when I have guests. It makes great coffee, allowing for several different settings such as carafe temperature, boldness of the brew and automatic timer. I can choose how long the pot stays on before shutting off automatically. There is nothing I don't love about this coffee maker!
I have bought a few Cuisinart coffee makers. When ,my last one died, I tried a Braun and hated it. Back to Cuisinart again and I love it! The only problem with my other ones was that the heating element could have lasted longer.
Great build quality and a great cup of coffee. Brews quick and I love that I can adjust the temperature of the hot plate. This replaced my OG Cuisinart coffee maker, I handed it down to my daughter
