This coffee maker is ALMOST perfect for me. I love this machine, but if Cuisinart did just a couple of minor tweaks, it would be perfection. These are very minor complaints, but us coffee people expect a lot. Firstly, if only the back lid would flex back just a little more so that pouring out of the 14 cup decanter would be easier when it gets to the last of the water. Secondly, when lifting the lid, some water from the inside will trickle down the back of the unit, leaving some water droplets down below. Maybe this is being too picky, but for those of us that have their coffee maker on a wood surface, it poses a small issue. I've always placed every coffee make I've owned on my wood furniture piece with no issues. Other than those two things, it's a great coffee maker, and the first I've had that houses 14 cups! Let me tell you, when company comes over, it makes life easier. Not that my husband and I ever go through that much coffee in a day, ahem. It also beeps to let you know it's brewed and again when the warming feature has concluded. There's another button for those that like their coffee bold and a 1-4 cup button. It's programmable so you can have coffee waiting for you as soon as your eyes open, and it even let's you know when it needs to be cleaned. I use the cone-type filter, but the traditional basket filters also work. I think you can even go without one and just rinse it clean, but I find just tossing the grounds in the paper filter easier. Overall, I am very pleased with the performance and would definitely recommend!

I am disappointed with my Cuisinart coffee maker as I purchased it on 10-17-21 and have had to clean it on 2 occasions already as the "Clean" light has gone on. I only use filtered water and have already had to order and replace the small charcoal filter that goes into the black sleeve. I have had several Cuisinart coffee machines in my life and have never had this "Clean" button go on so frequently. Is this common with the 14 cup?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I really like my new coffee maker! I like I can brew it bold, and have the warmer set to either, low, medium, or high. It is a bit loud when brewing, but only when it is on Bold brew. But it cleans up easy and the coffee tastes great!

I really like this coffeemaker. I had planned on replacing my old Cuisinart coffee maker with some random pot. I'm glad I did not. Love the extra cups and it brews quickly. Makes very good coffee.

The brew basket gets plugged up and creates the water to overflow. Our last Cuisinart never had this problem. So to say we are disappointed in our new coffee pot…yes.

Gave it 4 stars. The only issue I have is that I wish it had a separate water tank so you could fill the tank and then attach it back to the coffee maker. This one, if not careful will leak from the pot lid on countertop. Make sure that the lid is snapped in place every time after filling it with water. Sometimes when filling it with water it unsnaps the lid and if you don't catch it will spill all over the surface you have the coffee maker on. Love the 14 cup compacity.

All brewing functions and measuring lines are good. Tank filter holder does not fit snugly in place, not sure how well it is working. Numerous audible clicking noises occurring while coffee is on heating plate.
