I purchased this coffeemaker after Christmas replacing a 12 cup Cuisinart coffeemaker. This coffeemaker makes an extreme amount of noise when brewing coffee. When pouring coffee from the 14 cup carafe when it is full, it is almost impossible to not have coffee spill onto the table unless it is poured EXTREMELY SLOWLY. The third problem is just like my previous 12 cup coffeemaker when opening the lid to remove the old filter, water pours out behind the coffeemaker onto the counter top. This last problem could be easily be remedied by the manufacturer by making the lip on the back of the coffeemaker a little deeper and have it go all the way across the back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am on my 3rd Cuisinart 14 cup coffeemaker, not because I have one in each of my vacation homes either. I love the capacity of this pot and the speed at which it delivers my morning cup. However, the way the condensation runs out the back of the maker every time I open the lid to refill the chamber is getting a little better each time I buy a new one. A small molding modification in the plastic that would force the condensation down into the chamber would solve this. Also, the pot has shorted out twice on me. Yes, smoke (no fire) to the point that I had to toss it out in a snow bank last winter. This happens after the brew cycle is complete and the maker is just heating.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

i find pouring the water into the tank a little awkward. After the coffee perks, the coffeemaker makes popping sounds and doesn't stop until it's turned off.

Blue light disaster

Makes good coffee however the blue light is a disaster. Blue lights are horrible for dark rooms, blinding as many know any color is better than blue, i will return this for that reason. We've had a cuisinart coffee maker for years, it had a small red and green light which was perfect. This thing light up the room like a billboard blinding anyone walking into a dark room.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Its ok so far...The cord should be about 4 inches longer. I have to pull it out away cupboards and off to the side so i can open the top. Because if this i also can't pour all the water out of the carafe. If i had a space where there was nothing above it..i wouldnt have that problem..But like most people i put this on my counter top. So that isnt an option. I also would have made the lid on the carafe on a hinge..instead of taking on and off every time to add water , etc.. Still trying to find the right coffee to water ration for the best cup that i like for taste.. Love the looks of it, programming is pretty easy.
