I owned this exact coffee pot for 18 plus years and loved it. When it began to leak at the bottom, I replaced it with the same new pot. I noticed the new design had more drip holes to allow the water to come down over the grinds. At first I thought this would be good, because it would cover more of the grinds area instead of a slower drip through the center only, of the grinds. But what I have found is that it brews a weaker pot of coffee, rather than bold, as I prefer. So now I always brew the coffee on the "bold" setting, thinking that maybe it will come down slower and brew it more richly, but it still seems to brew a little weak for my liking. Therefore, to get the full bodied or stronger flavor that I like, I have to use more coffee grinds than I always had in the past. This is more costly of course. I think they added too many drip holes with the upgrade. It now has 33. They should have added only a few more. I otherwise like the pot features and its look. I just wish it brewed the same as the old design.

I chose Cuisinart for its reputation of long-lasting well made products, and I am so happy with my 12-cup model. I wanted the choice of either brewing a few cups for myself or enough for company. And I wanted an auto turn off so I needn’t worry when I left the house. It has more bonus features like bold brews and sel-cleaning so every cup is delicious.

Awful lid to pot

Terrible lid to the carafe. Cheap and hard to open.

Coffee maker has nice options for brew strength, timed brew, and brew size. Glass carafe is easy to clean. The only design option I am not fond of is that lid snaps on and off instead of having hinges for closure, but it is functional.
I would recommend this to a friend!

New coffee maker has been designed with simple buttons that start or stop brewing precisely. Coffee is ready in a few minutes and delicious. It stays hot but does not overcook. The new sleek material of the coffee maker sets it apart from the previous models. It’s beautiful and easy to clean!

Had this same coffee maker for 7 years before I noticed the power cord was getting hot at the plug; worn out over the years I assume. A few years ago that old one sprung a leak and I like that I was able to access the bottom and replace the tubing. I replaced that coffee maker with the exact same one just in a different color. Hopefully this one lasts just as long or longer.
I would recommend this to a friend!
