My old Cuisinart coffee maker died and I needed to get a new one. Chose not to try a different brand because this one was dependable and made great coffee. So I purchased the same model and continue to enjoy the features of this model especially the programmable and bold options.
This coffee maker is absolutely the best one we have ever had! Easy to set up, easy to clean and the coffee after it goes through the double filter system tastes fantastic!
this is the third model like this I have bought. The first one lasted several years (10 or so) and the second one was a bit faulty with the brew interrupt feature crapping out--I had to stop using that feature. But it last a fair amount of time. I eventually had to replace it and that unit lasted barely 2 years when the heating element poohed out. So the quality seemed to diminish
It makes a good cup of coffee but the machine itself is VERY noisy while it is brewing. Kinda sounds like a fork in a garbage disposal. Not sure if that's normal with this model? Also it makes about 1-2 less cups of brewed coffee than water added so be sure to compensate when adding water. There is a LOT of steam so don't put it near cabinets as it might damage or warp the wood. The brewed coffee is good though. I wouldn't buy this model again, but it'll do for a while.
