This coffee maker definitely improved the taste of my coffee probably due chiefly to the rainshower water dispensing system. The only problems I have are (1) the cup markings on the carafe are extremely difficult to read and (2) for some reason the carafe seems to dispense some coffee down its side when pouring a cup. These two reasons are the bases of the 4 star rating.
Purchased this to replace an older Cuisinart 14-cup maker which we loved! This particular unit makes really loud noises while brewing?? Clicking, snapping sounds? and the warming plate makes weird noises too?... Not sure if it's a subpar unit? or ???
Not as good as the reviews. Makes Hot coffee but overall taste not so good. Weak flavor unless you use the Bold setting. I purchased another Bunn to replace this one.
We upgraded to this from an older from an older model Cuisinart. This model has the traditional features, plus new ones, with a more straightforward interface. Love it!
