Everything works and is so far dependable. I like the choice of using the filter basket and that it’s programmable. We have not had this long enough to do clean cycle and I hope it works after that.
I love the new look. I had my Cuisinart coffee maker for over 15 years. It still worked but the carafe broke and the model I had was discontinued. I love my new coffee maker and I love this brand.
The Cuisinart 14 cup programmable coffeemaker really makes a good pot of coffee. Love the "bold" button, which we always use and not having to use paper filters. Easy to set up, easy to clean. My recommendation, though, is to use a good quality coffee for best results.
The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is this is my 3rd coffee maker of this model. The 1st one lasted well over 10 years. The 2nd one lasted just barely 3 years (the heating element stopped working). I'm hoping that was not due to reduced manufacturing quality and this new unit will last longer being it's still the best of it's type.
