I had a Cuisinart Extreme Brew for years….so I wanted another…not available. So I bought this…it is okay….pouring water in takes care as the pot drips …the machine groans and grinds during brewing…..its sounds like it is in agony…..sigh

My husband owned another brand's most basic coffee maker for at least 25 years, from before we met until about four years ago. The good ole days! It finally died, and we bought the exact same basic brand three times in the past four years. One was indeed our fault for accidentally breaking the carafe...and replacing that was the same price as the whole coffee maker. I was tired of running out once a year to buy a coffee maker so we invested in the Cuisinart. We unpacked it and marveled at how streamlined and fancy it looked. So, the first thing I absolutely hate is the automatic shut off, which actually deterred me before from buying a better brand. I am an early riser and the others in my household wake up hours after me. The default shut off is two hours. So it beeps after two hours and I have to go turn it back on. If I wake up at 5am and anyone else in the house sleeps until 9am, that means I have to turn it back on two times. Now, I believe my hubby programmed it to shut off after four hours ONCE, but if you unplug it, well it goes back to the default of two hours. I have always unplugged the coffee maker and toaster when not in use, and I have never forgotten to turn off the coffee maker when leaving the house, so the automatic shut off is something I don't need. Another dislike is the way the water reservoir exists on this; it's very hard to pour the water in. I basically have to pour most of it from the right-back and finish it up in the left-back. Lastly, this brews with some kind of clunking sound. It's extremely loud to me and I'm not even sure if it's normal. All in all, if this coffeemaker can last three years, it will be less of a hassle than buying one per year at 1/3 the cost. I will deal with the cons as long as we get coffee made every day.

We had this exact coffee maker for the last 7 years and it was undeniably the best we've owned, simple and reliable. So it was an easy decision when our old one started leaking to just get the same unit, so far it's just as great as the last, we hope to get another 7 years out of this one! Great coffee maker!

We love the Cuisinart 14 cup programmable coffeemaker! we used Cuisinart coffeemakers for many years. This was a replacement to the one we had. They make great coffee and are easy to use and to clean. Love, love, love it!

This is the 3rd time I have purchased this make of coffee maker. Each one has died about 2 to 3 years into the usage. The problem with the previous ones, is that it would brew only about 1/5 pot and then signal that it was finished. If left on, it would finally finish brewing after almost 2 hours of leaving it on. I could turn off and turn back on multiple times to finish in about 45 minutes to an hour. The heating element to keep the coffee hot was working fine. I'm hoping that this coffeemaker will make it past 3 years before the same thing happens.
I would recommend this to a friend!
