This is my fourth Cuisinart coffeemaker.My experience with the coffeemakers has been positive except for this most recent purchase. I find that the brewed coffee is not hot enough. I have to then microwave it. This is not what I would expect from a new Cuisinart coffeemaker.

We’ve been longtime Cuisinart users of a number of different products and this is our 3rd coffee pot! The two previous ones both lasted a very long time. I’m certain this new one will too. Very easy to use (I like the BOLD button). Brews a very nice cup of coffee!
3 weeks ago we purchased the Cuisinart 12 cup coffee maker after owning a Mr. Coffee for 25 years. We were reluctant to purchase a different product, but we are very happy we did. It makes a great cup of coffee, smooth and hot compared to our old coffee maker. You can make a 1-4 cup batch or the whole pot depending on your needs. Just add the amount of water necessary and the ground coffee and press the 1-4 cup button and brew button and within minutes you have a hot and great tasting cup to start your day. We agree with the great reviews this product has.
This coffee maker makes good coffee. I do have a problem occasionally. About once a week I wake up in the morning to a coffee maker with no power. I unplugged it and plug it back in and it works fine but that prevents me from using the timer reliably.
