Got this coffeemaker to replace an older model that self-destructed after about 10 years. This one is slower, noisier, and a bit temperamental. The coffee “basket” doesn’t just sit down in the space. You have to physically push it down until it snaps in place. Weird! You cannot make 14 cups of coffee, at least not with the appropriate amount of grounds, without the grounds spilling over into the carafe. I hate grounds in my coffee. I figured out a way to work around this by using less coffee and employing the BOLD setting, which works ok, but coffee is not as good. This shouldn't have to be done to get 14 cups of grounds-free coffee out of a 14 cup coffeemaker. And don’t even try to remove the carafe right after the alert tone goes off, or you will have a mess from coffee still coming out. I usually wait a good 5 minutes. This thing is noisy! It bumps, groans, and hisses for several hours after it has finished dripping. Overall, a disappointing purchase.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The 14 cup coffee maker has worked flawlessly since purchase. It was extremely easy to set up the first and subsequent times. We really do rely on our coffee in the morning. It would not be a good way to start the day without coffee. You can set it to make a bold, hot pot of coffee which is really nice. However it does give you the option if that’s not your choice. Having 14 cups instead of 10 or 12 is really nice as well. So far, I have no reservations in saying that this is a great coffee maker!

Love the coffee maker. Works well. Stainless and white. Love all the features. Only thing is I wish there was a glass holder inside to hold filter instead of plastic. Bought this to try to get some of the plastics out of our life as K-Cups are all plastic.

I love cuisinart products. I have quite a few. My new coffee maker is great I like fresh coffee in the morning. Also it is a lot quieter than my old one.

This is a nice stylish coffee maker. Large 14 cup version is extra nice. The design of the carafe spout needs improvement, especially when the lid is on. There is allot of spillage if you don't take extra time when pouring. Leaves a big mess on the counter. There is also allot of condensation on the makers lid after brewing. When you open up the lid it drips all over the counter surface. Would be nice to have a catch lip for this condensation and direct it into the water compartment. Otherwise this is a nice unit. I have had reliability issues with the past two units, with them lasting only a couple years of average use. I hope the reliability is better o this model.

This machine is top notch, lots of good features including carafe temp control, 1-4 hour setting to keep pot on, bold setting, and the brass filter basket eliminating the need for paper filters.
