The coffee made from this pot has been very good. It is easy to set up each day and programming as worked flawlessly. It is a good looking coffeemaker on our counter. When we first started using it, the pot pulled out and back in just fine, but the longer we have it, it seems to get caught (just like other coffeemakers that we have had) on the button on the bottem of the basket and you have to move it around until it goes in. The outside of the maker does show streaks, and it needs to be wiped off regularly.
I bought my first ever Cuisinart Coffeemaker about a month ago and I don't know why it took me so long to do so! It makes the absolute BEST cup of coffee and it looks great in my kitchen!
We got this as a Christmas gift. The 14 cup pot can be poured without spilling....no drips! Also, the options on base temperature settings are great. We like our coffee hot and the Cuisinart makes the hottest we have ever had.
Bought this to use over the holidays and it works good. We tried both ways of brewing coffee regular and then used the bold feature and found the bold really made the coffee taste much better. Also tried the paper filters but did not care for them we used the gold filter alone and again this enhanced the flavor. It is a good coffee maker.
