Very easy to overflow when brewing in programmed mode. Makes a big mess. 3 times in the first month I have used it. After filling the coffee grounds you need to be sure to fit the plastic cone in the notch and PUSH DOWN with the carafe in place to be absolutely sure the spring loaded valve is opened. Very easy to do this wrong. Other coffee makers I have owned are no where near as difficult as this one.

Come on. It's a coffee maker. No frills but is reliable, solid, and works perfectly every time. It says "Cuisinart" on the front so my neighbors know I'm very stylish.

We received this coffee machine as a gift and we are extremely pleased with it. The temperature of the coffee is brings out the flavor and does not make it bitter. I love the other features such as it being programable and can brew the coffee bold. All around, a great upgrade from our previous coffee pot!

When I need to purchase or replace a kitchen appliance Cuisinart is always my first choice. The quality and Companies backing of their products is outstanding. My new 14 cup coffeemaker has been rated one of the best on the market. As a former Barista I can not agree more!!! Cuisnart will not disappoint.

The coffee maker seems great - easy to use, relatively quick, all the things a coffee maker should be…. But… I can’t seem to get it to make a GOOD pot of coffee…. I have tried three different kinds/brands/roasts and none of them have been drinkable. All have little to no flavor and just taste like hot brown water. Just can’t figure it out compared to my last cheapie coffee maker….
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
