Makes good coffee. Lid a bit fussy to remove and a little hard to pour water into the unit. My biggest complaint is that it broke after 11months. Cuisinart did supply a free replacement quickly.

The coffee making ability is good - It makes a good cup of coffee, strong, tastes wonderful even without the water filter in it.
We had the pour over style of this coffee maker prior to this one, and the pour over style maker busted about 2 months after having it due to coffee grinds spilling over the coffee grind holder and back into the water reservoir, where it was sucked back into the coffee maker eventually clogging the coffee maker. I didn't look too closely at this 14 cup programmable coffee maker before I bought it and it has a similar pour style of where the water comes out on top over coffee grinds... but the coffee grinds could easily float up and spill over into the water reservoir and then be sucked into coffee maker during a brew. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that doesn't happen - so far so good but I do see coffee grind particles stuck to the holes of where the water comes out during brewing which means the grinds are definitely rising up during the brew and could spill over.
In addition, the clock feature is wonky - it's like it only counts 58 or 59 minutes for every hour so it's constantly moving up in time. I think I reset the time about 2 weeks ago and now the clock reads 30 mins faster than the real time - annoying.
Also the burner temperature is a little too hot for our tastes even when I set it to the lowest temp the coffee is still scorching and I need to let it sit 5 mins+ in a mug before I can drink it. I definitely won't be buying this coffee pot again. Sorry but just my opinion.

Though it brews a good cup of coffee, the clock doesn't work well. It adds 20-25 minutes each day which is a problem when programming auto-brew. It has been a problem on 2 separate coffeemakers we ordered

all together the coffee maker is good, not a huge fan of the reusable coffee filter, its to hard to clean, had to return my initial purchase as the clock would just gain time all day long, exchanged it and the new one keeps good time. Otherwise this coffee maker makes pretty good coffee. all in all I would recommend this product.
