This coffee maker makes great coffee! I like that it has a build in water filter system. I often use the Bold and the 1 to 4 cups settings when I brew coffee.
Purchased this coffeemaker to replace a Cuisinart coffeemaker my wife and I received as a wedding gift 37 years ago. It still worked but decided to give away and buy a new one. Made a bit differently now but works just the same. Cuisinart has always been reliable for us.
We've had multiple Cuisinart coffee makers over many years, and this model makes good coffee and keeps it hot. However the carafe always leaks when filling the water reservoir and also when filling cups. We can't recommend it, always needs a towel at hand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
