Like the design and the way it looks and brews a great cup of coffee. Love this coffee pot.
(This is a nice feature except that I get up earlier than others in the household and it does sound like an alarm clock)2) No backlit clock. Not a major problem but for the price of the unit I would consider it a major design flaw.4) Coffee flavor good but nothing to get too excited about. For the published price of this machine I think it is over-rated.
3) Filling issues. We use filtered water at the tap so it isn't our water. As others have noted it is a small issue as if you are not careful it is easy to spill over into the dry grounds.
Purchased this to replace a 10 year old Mr Coffee that worked fine but I was tired of replacing the cheap carafes. This unit you have to be less than 3 feet away at eye level to even see the numbers; the clock is there for programming use only in my opinion. Don't see much of an improvement over my old machine so can only give it 3 stars.
A few complaints: 1) No way to shut off the annoying 5 beep sound telling you the coffee is done. Even my $35 Mr Coffee had this so it could be used as a reference clock in the kitchen.
I'm very pleased with my purchased. The color is not a perfect match with the red in my kitchen but it is close enough. My coffee is good and hot,the place where you pour the water works fine for me, and it will adjust the strength for a small amount of coffee.
We have received the replacement in a timely fashion, however, we are expected to pay return postage which will probably exceed $10. After calling Cuisinart, they agreed to honor their warranty by sending us a replacement, as long as we returned the faulty product. I purchased this coffee maker in December, 2008, based on consumer comments. Six months later, water poured into the coffee maker spilled out the bottom onto the counter.
I LOVE the carafe, you can pour a cup anywhere and not spill any coffee. I saw some reviews complain about the access to pour water into the coffeemaker and I personally don't believe it is too small. We have been using this for about a week and so far are extremely happy with this coffeemaker. The clocks is fairly easy to set and since we don't use the programming on it dont' know about that yet but it looks like it's easy to set up. I also like that the coffeemaker beeps when it is finished making the coffee since I am usually in another room while it is brewing.I would buy this coffeemaker again in an instant. I had a Black & Decker that quit working after about 3 months and a Mr. Coffee that took at LEAST 20 minutes to make a pot of coffee.This coffeemaker makes a pot quick and makes it hot.
