This coffee maker does make good coffee, BUT it's done before you can finish cleaning up the mess from spilled water and coffee grounds. What a nasty design. The no drip carafe is not that at all and the fill area is so badly located at the rear of the machine's top that water spills over the side, into the filter area and all over everything. On top of that the carafe cannot be completely emptied into the reservoir without holding the carafe above the lid, about 10" away from the very small hole. It leaves about a full cup in the carafe, unless you spilled it out already.
The LCD digital clock is NOT backlit and so cannot be read except by bending over and staring at it closely. I called Cuisinart Customer support about it and they said the clock is like that to save money on the design. Thanks.
The programming control switch is also hard to read without bending over. The pretty picture on the box gives no indication this coffee-maker is so hard to use and live with so my advice is to just move on to another brand. Certainly, not up to Cuisinart's usual standard of quality.
What's great about it: good coffee
What's not so great: bad design, bad carafe, bad clock, a real mess
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
