Makes good coffee with great options such as bold selection and the ability to set automatic turn-off anywhere up to 4 hours. The disadvantage is the unnecessary very bright blue light when the machine is off. It is a huge power vampire, which serves no function except to waste electricity at a time when people are trying to use less.
I've had several Cuisinart coffeemakers and have always been very satisfied with them and the quality of the coffee they produce. This latest one is also very good, but for the design of the pot itself must have changed, sightly. The spout shape is enough different that I'm constantly "dribbling" coffee, while pouring. I've never had the problem with any of the other pots I've used. Otherwise, it's a great coffeemaker, just a little annoying.
