I was very disappointed in this coffee maker. My Braun had had went out and I thought I'd try something new. Yours offered the same features with a larger carafe. I decided to give it a try. The coffee was very weak, even when put on the bold setting. I returned it and purchased another Braun.
I have only had to buy 3 coffee pots in the last 20 yrs and they get used every day, sometimes all day! All have been Cuisinart coffee pots. This is the reason why I have bought this latest coffee pot and so far I have not been disappointed. Love all of Cusinart kitchen appliances. The design is clean and easy to use and they have always outlasted any other brand I have ever had.
After returning another brand of a new coffee pot, I bought this one. What a difference. It brews fast, easy clean up, & the coffee stays hot, which is really important to us--truly committed coffee drinkers!
Love this pot. Its my second Cuisinart. Would have given 5 stars but its impossible to set the time and even worse to set the auto time. I love the way it makes the coffee and its stays very hot.
