This makes coffee as you'd expect, and the 14 cup carafe is nice when you need a bit more coffee than will fit in the 12 cup carafes that seem to be standard.
However, I don't love the carafe. The first issue is that it dribbles. This is common, seems like it's a problem more often that not in the coffee makers I've had over the years. The last one, a Mr Coffee, spoiled me, you could pour as fast as you like with no dribbling. With the carafe on this model, you need to pour fairly slowly to avoid drips, not too bad when filling a cup, but it makes it tedious to fill the machine before brewing.
Also, this is the first coffee maker I've had where the carafe lid is not hinged, so you can flip it up with your thumb. On this model, it snaps into place, there is no flipping up and down. If you want to remove the lid or open the carafe, you must rip the lid off, then snap it back in place to get it back on. Not sure how many cycles of that it will take to wear out the four little plastic tabs that keep it in place.

We like this coffee maker and prefer it. The one problem I see is that when the coffee is done brewing the alarm is so very faint. We've had Cuisinart coffee makers in the past that have had a loud tone so that we could tell the coffee was done pretty much anywhere in the house. Other than that we love the coffee maker!

I’m enjoying my new Cuisinart coffeemaker, especially how hot it keeps the brewed coffee. It was an emergency purchase, made when my previous machine broke during Thanksgiving week when I had house guests! I would have vastly preferred a smaller 12 cup pot, but had very limited choices in that moment. This is my first Cuisinart coffeemaker and I’m happy to have it.

I love my new coffee maker. It had been more than 15 years since I bought my last machine (it was not a Cousinart) and this was a spur of the moment splurge. One well worth it. My coffee taste better - the machine looks great in my updated kitchen and it is extremely easy to use.

Love this coffeemaker! It looks fantastic in our kitchen, and brews great tasting coffee quickly. We liked the dark stainless look, so we purchased this unit. The coffeemaker we replaced is the same model about 3 years old, and still works great! We have a Cuisinart toaster also. We love Cuisinart quality appliances!
