The current Cuisinart 14 cup coffee maker replaces a 12 cup Cuisinart coffee maker. The replaced one we had for about a decade if not more. The only reason for replacing the old one was that it started leaking. One advantage of the new one is that there is a water gauge on the side and not in the fill tank.
Makes a really good cup of coffee. Like that it is hotter than most and makes enough to satisfy needs of three people or more daily. This replacing a 10 cup machine that was hardly enough.
It's an easy to use coffee maker. I only "plug it in" when I am making a pot of coffee for the air pot. Works just fine, no problems. Water fill is on the side, a little inconvenient but not a problem. Pour slowly as the pot easily "drips". My wife has no problem with the dripping but I am too anxious. Our experience is about 13-15 minutes for a pot of coffee.
What's not to love about this coffee maker? It's easy to use, programmable, 14 CUPS!! Many features to include; how long to have the burner on, temperature of the coffee, clock, beeps to let you know it is done brewing, beeps to let you know the burner is turning off....so so much to love all in one coffee maker. Perfect cup every time!
