The coffee maker holds 14 cups rather the traditional 12 cups. Unfortunately the basket and filters do not hold enough coffee to make 14 cups. -- if you like strong coffee and I do. I ended up with coffee grounds all over my coffee pot. In addition the blue light is so bright that is lights up the entire kitchen. so far I haven't found a way to turn it down. I do like the ability to get my coffee very hot. Great feature.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Purchased this coffeemaker based on recommendation from America's Test Kitchen. Really like it. Only negative comment is the carafe which doesn't have a hinged top and a somewhat awkward water filling method. The maker lid doesn't hinge back far enough to make it easier to fill.

We had a 12 cup Cuisinart prior to buying this 14 cup Cuisinart. We love that it has a 14 cup capacity which is great when we have guests. It has the cone shaped filter which brews a more robust cup of coffee than flat filters. It also has a bold brew feature which allows an even bolder brew by steeping the coffee before draining it into the carafe.

I’ve been using Cuisinart coffemakers for years, and alway was very happy with their proformance. I still am but this maker makes a lot of noise, which is very annoying and strange. After a week I did contact Cuisinart customer service and was told it shouldn’t be making the noise, and suggested I return it. I did and got a new one. After the third use the noise was back. So annoying, sounds like a blast of steam and does it several times in a row. And I am speaking after the coffee is made. All of my old pots never did this. A little sorry I replaced my pot.

This is my 2nd Cuisinart coffee pot. My son took my first one - it was nearly 10 years old -when his (other brand) stopped working after a few months. I wouldn't buy any other brand. Makes great coffee, excellent brewing choices and features.
