We’ve used our new coffee maker now for about three weeks and love it. It’s very attractive, easy to program, we love the ‘auto on’ feature, the carafe feels sturdier than others we’ve had and the coffee is delicious.
Worked great for 2 weeks until the pot exploded...

The coffee maker itself seems to work just fine. I have had this item for less than a month. A week ago, the brand new glass pot decided to break while the hot coffee was being brewed. Luckily no one was hurt and I was sent a replacement. I am watching the new one very carefully. It looked as if the glass actually melted.
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 used to have a cuisinart coffee maker and then switched to Keurig. Had to switch back!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I purchased this unit on 06/03/24 and the heating element stopped working on 10/24/25. The display still works. This happens to be the second of three Cuisinart coffee makers I purchased. The new one I just ordered has the single cup feature so at least I can brew one cup at a time if the heating element stops working on the carafe side. I do like the cone filter style because the coffee taste better.
