Our previous Cuisinart 14 Cup coffee pot finally reached its end of life after many, many uses over the past 15 years! WOW! With our good experience with the Cuisinart 14 Cup pot we decided to buy another one. Yes, the controls have changed from push-buttons to all digital, the functions of the pot are the same.
Our biggest initial complaint about the pot (which lowered it from 5 Stars to 4) was the awful taste of the coffee for the first 10 pots of coffee. We assume it was due to any plastic finishing chemicals on the pot's surfaces. However, since the cleanout, the pot has been fine and the coffee delicious.
Perhaps in the future Cuisinart should include a thorough flush of the coffee pot at the factory before packaging and instructions on ways to thoroughly clean and flush the pot BEFORE drinking your first cup of coffee.

I really like the touch screen. It makes it very easy to select brew strength and hit brew. I also like that it brews relatively quickly, even on the Bold setting. I do find it more difficult to add water than my prior coffee pot that had a removable reservoir that I could take to the sink. Also, if I add slightly too much water, I have to carry the whole machine to the sink to dump out some water. At times it makes a lot of noise and I've seen on other reviews that people do note this as an issue. But, overall I really like this coffee pot.

This Cuisinart coffee maker is an excellent home brewer. The touchscreen makes it a breeze to easily adjust and set the auto start time, bold or normal coffee strength, and hot plate temperature. The PerfecTemp technology ensures that the coffee will enable the optimal coffee extraction. While the coffee produced may not equate to a perfect pour over, it is clearly a wonderful coffee experience.

Makes good coffee but it is very loud. The machine makes very loud popping noises while brewing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The touch controls are hard to understand and the user manual is incomplete. The coffee taste is inferior to a single cup drip using a Melitta cone filter and hot water.

A 14 cup coffee maker was a big part of why I chose this product and I have had Cuisinart products in the past. I like the appearance of this model and it delivers a hot, good tasting cup of coffee. One of the negatives that I have and have had in the past with Cuisinart coffee makers Is when pouring coffee, it can easily run down the pot from the spout when the pot is full. I think an engineering change is long over due!
