I recently purchased a Cuisinart 14 cup programmable coffee maker. I am very happy with it. It is easy to set up and program so the coffee is ready when I wake up. There is a 'bold' feature that brews it stronger - the way I like it. The carafe is easy to handle and does not spill. I would recommend or give as a gift.
Purchased this Cuisinart 14-Cup coffee maker several weeks ago to replace an older Mr. Coffee machine and this is really a step up! The larger capacity is handy but it is the overall quality, sturdy construction and Cuisinart quality that we enjoy! The fact that due to the less than popular color I got a great deal too was a plus!
Decided to replace our coffee maker because it didn’t seem to capture the favor we knew the coffee had. This machine brews thoroughly and delivers a great pot of coffee.
We've had the coffeemaker for about a month now and, overall, am pleased with the features and quality. The one minor complaint that we have is that it can get quite loud and noisey during the perculating stage. We know of someone else who has the same model and have the same complaint.
