Love the sleek design and stainless steel finish. Very beautiful addition to my kitchen countertop. It is a bit loud - some random popping and crackling of the carafe and burner. It was concerning at first, but once I realized it was just part and parcel for normal operation of the machine. Coffee is consistent and carafe temperature setting seem to be reliable.
We replaced a Cuisinart with this Cuisinart. We love their products. My only issue is that the carafe leaks on this one at the seal where the plastic meets the glass near the pour spout. I just don't have the time and energy to return the whole thing and wait for a new one to arrive.
It cost a good deal of money & was defective from the very first brewed pot. I returned it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I'm very pleased with the coffeemaker, it's exactly the same one I had for about 6 years before. After the 6 years, it started leaking water while brewing coffee so I had to get a new one.
We really like everything about our new coffeemaker! The only change to suggest is for the coffeemaker keep the coffee hot while we wait to drink additional cups. More heat!
