Crawl before you walk with this bread maker or you will waste a lot of ingredients. We found that the small er pound loaves are better for this mixer/bread-maker. Too much flour causes problems with density and overall cooking of the bread. Also, recipes say room temperature but butter, water, etc. are better when slightly warm.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We own several Cuisinart kitchen gadgets and generally hold them in high regard. This bread maker was purchased for the specific purpose of making gluten-free bread, and it is woefully inadequate. They cycles do no appear to have been optimized for gluten-free bread making at all and every attempt at having the machine run the process from start to finish has ended in failure. Generally, the bread ends up as a small, dense, cannonball. I would expect the machine works just great for regular bread, hence the 3 star rating. For gluten-free, 1 star.

I previously owned a Cuisinart Bread Machine for over 30 years and gave it high use. When it finally stopped working, I bought the Amazon Basic Bread Machine because I needed to make small loaves of gluten free bread. Although this machine makes good bread, the gluten free mode did not make a good bread. I then went back to Cuisinart, and it did not disappoint me. It makes a good gluten free bread. I expect many good years ahead of bread making for this machine.

The compact bread maker (CBK-110) does make good bread but there are 2 things that make me give it only a 3 star rating. The unit moves on my granite counter top while making bread and the beeps for the different notifications can barely be heard. There isn't a lot of movement but there shouldn't be any movement at all. That is not as big of a problem as the sound. The beeps are to notify you for different tasks such as removing the paddle or adding ingredients. The volume is so low that I can't hear them unless I am standing over the unit. My hearing isn't as good as it once was but I shouldn't have to be standing by the unit to hear the beeps. Very disappointing.
