We LOVE this coffee pot. Love that it actually makes 14 cups of coffee at once, love that it can make a BOLD cup of coffee and love having the timer so we don't have to wait for a cup of coffee when we get out of bed. VERY happy with this purchase!
I like my Cuisineart coffeemaker and this is my 3rd or 4th one but the quality is not very good. I replaced my previous one with a new one because the tank was leaking. The filter basket on the new one broke and Cuisinart sent me a replacement then the control panel could not keep the right time. So they told me to return it to the store. I purchased a new one at a different store and this one is still working.
Finally, a great offee maker at a reasonable price

Been using a French press for years, but bold setting on this unit gives similar flavor. Programmable allows waking up to great coffee. Has the first keep hot function that doesn't burn the coffee, even after 3 hours.
This was a replacement for another Cusinart coffee machine. It has been just as good and easy to use as the other one. We are sold on Cusinart products.
This replaced our old red 12-cup Cuisinart which we'd had for years, but was shorted out during a lightning storm. This new 14-cup is excellent. The controls have been improved over the previous model. Much easier to read the labels. Easy to set the brew timer and the clock. No complaints. Well, just one: we couldn't replace the red color, but the stainless steel is fine.
I like the features of this coffee maker, and feel like it makes a good cup o joe. The only things I wish were different was a larger space to pour the water into the reservoir; with the width of the carafe, it is tough to get the pouring angle right. If you're considering this one, go with one with a removable reservoir instead.
