I bought the coffee maker a few months ago. It is easy to use. I bought this coffee maker because it has a bold brew feature which works really well and you can set the warming plate to high temperature. I drink milk I'm my coffee so this feature is important to me. My coffee is still hot after I add milk without using the microwave! I am happy with my coffee maker and would recommend it.
Purchased after extensive research on the internet. It is highly recommended and I agree. Variable temperature setting. Heating plate keeps coffee hot not lukewarm. I like the 4 cup setting for smaller brew settings. I haven't tried the bold setting yet.
I bought my new Cuisinart several months ago - a replacement for a Previous Cuisinart: it is fast, coffee stays hit much longer and last cup is as enjoyable as the first!
I bought this product because it had the highest capacity of all the coffee makers I looked at. The controls are easy to figure out, even for a technologically challenged person like me. Brews a good cup of coffee and I like the BOLD button to brew the coffee a little stronger
I bought this to replace a 5 year old Cuisinart 12 cup coffeemaker that had died.
I went with this model for its large 14 cup capacity and its aesthetics (stainless feint & sides). I found that cleaning the black plastic sides top with Lemon Pledge keeps the unit looking nice.
The “Bold” button and the “1-4” cup settings make it easy to brew a stronger cup of coffee. The new “shower head” design does a better job of saturation all the coffee grounds, rather than having a single exit point for the heated water.
It is easy to set the clock and program the unit. Very simple, so simple that you don’t even need to look at the manual.
The ONLY reason I don’t give this 5 stars is that the area to pour water into the reservoir is a bit narrow. It takes some practice to aim into that area without spilling water. Practice makes perfect.
We are very unhappy with our coffee maker. If we try to brew more than ten cups, the basket that holds the coffee overflows and grounds get everywhere, have to clean the entire coffee maker and have many grounds in the coffee. We are thinking about returning it and buying a different brand!
We bought this a few months ago, and love it. We replaced an old one that brewed it's last drip. We loved the old one so much we bought another. It's the only coffee maker we'd buy.
