This is my second Cuisinart coffee maker. My first Cuisinart lasted 7 years. My new 14 cup programmable Cuisinart makes good hot coffee. Love it! I can always rely on Cuisinart products.
I bought this about a month ago & it works fine. Only thing I found is that it makes a lot of noise when it is done brewing & way before the timer which shuts it off in 2 hours. Carafe is heavy when filled with water so hard to pour water in to make the coffee in small area to pour it.
I love a great cup of coffee. It starts with excellent coffee beans ground to a perfection! Lastly you need is a reliable and consistent coffeemaker. I have been using a Cuisinart Coffeemaker for several years now, not because they make the best coffee. To past my taste test it has to be hot, not bitter or acidic, but rich like chocolate. When guest come over they always remark how good it tastes. What's the secret they ask? Its great beans and great grind and a great coffeemaker. Thank you Cuisinart for making my morning coffee perfect every time! I know I sound like a commercial...LOL. But my statements are genuine and true. I have one suggestion for the coffeemaker design it would help to have a larger opening to pour the water in. Thats it - a minor matter. OVERALL RATING: Excellent!!!!
It is a tall machine with some good features. I like the four-cup feature . Who really makes fourteen cups regularly? I actually put it away and brought out my old Krups because this one is just too tall for my counters which are normal heights.
I bought this, not sure if I would like it. But it has met and exceeded my expectations. It leaves the coffee hot hot hot. Love that!!! After a couple months, still working great We make 1-4 pots per day.
