What's great about it: 12 Cup Carafe
What's not so great: The clock is not illuminated
I researched coffee makers and narrowed it down to 5 and this one was #3. I purchased this one because my first two choices were not available at Best Buy. I only have a couple of complaints and they are really not that sugnifficant of an issue.
Dislikes:
1. The clock is not illuminated, which makes it hard to read.
2. When you open the lid, to pour in the water, you have to pull the unit out toward the edge of the counter because it's to tall to fit under the cabinet.
3. I leave the lid open to let the unit dry out inside. For some reason a lot of moisture accumulates.
4. You have to order the water filters in a two year supply (12 filters) at a cost of $34.95 + shipping & tax which comes to more than half the cost of the unit itself!
5. The cord is to short which limits the location you can put the coffee maker.
6. The lid seem flimsy, whould be nicer if it were made of a little thicker plastic.
Likes:
1. Makes 12 cups of coffee instead of the standard 10 cups that most coffee makers make.
2. Ease of pouring in the water, as long as you hook the lip of the carafe on the edge of the unit it pours in easely.
3. You can control the length of time the coffee stays warm, after brewing.

What's great about it: Easy to program and use.
What's not so great: Nothing!
I have used my coffee maker for about 3 weeks. I love the ease of use and it is very easy to program. I have used other products that make setting the clock difficult. I also like fact that I don't have to use filters. The coffee tastes great!!!!

What's great about it: Easy to use, price
What's not so great: Adding water & the beeping at the end of the brew.
Have only had it a month, but so far so good (knock on wood).
Really makes a good brew, is easy to use, price is right and is a nice looking coffee maker; goes well with dark appliances & counter-top.
The only things I really find off with this c-maker are:
1) Adding water; the opening is pretty small, so you have to have good aim and a steady hand.
2) The beeping at the end of the brew. It's rather annoying, I like the idea of the notification, but wish you could at least adjust the volume of the beep.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is probably one of the best coffee makers I've ever used. I love the design of it and it's incredibly easy to use. It keeps coffee hot and has a great feature, you can pour while it makes. As long as the filter basket is inserted properly, If not, it can leak.
The biggest design flaw is pouring the water in. You need to keep the plastic cover on the pot to keep water from spilling as you pour, and even then, it's hit and miss. Also, between brews, because of the design, under the lid of the coffee maker, there is moisure that stays and if you don't wipe it out, it'll be there the next day. Obviously, it gets really hot in there so there's no chance of disease or germs, but I wish it didn't do that.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Makes HOT coffee.
What's not so great: Nothing really "bad" about it.
Got the coffee maker about a month ago. Found it online and selected the model partly due to what was available for pick-up at the store. I needed a new one NOW. Found good reviews on this brand. Selected this one and have no major complaints. Best part for me is that it does truly make HOT coffee and doesn't drip when you take it out to pour.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Makes fine coffee,easy to clean, easy to program, great carafe
What's not so great: Slightly dificult to fill with water
Replaced another Cuisinart that died after 5 years. This model has a different look but operates in a identical manner. The price for this maker is very reasonable as it does everything but grind beans and/or make expresso. It functions as a typical coffeemaker and provides a good tasting cup of coffee. It also brews 12 cups which is beneficial for a family of coffee drinkers. The only shortcoming , and this was true of its predecessor, is that filling it with water is a little difficult. It has two flaws, first the lid doesn't open far enough to provide easy access to the filling chamber. Secondly, the filling chamber itself is located at the rear of the top, near the hinged lid location. Fortunately, the carafe doesn't leak and is used to fill the chamber. With a little care and in a lighted room, the pot can be filled without spilling any water. I've noticed that this problem exists on many coffeemakers, it's surprising that these manufacturers haven't eliminated it.

What's great about it: Compact, pours easily without spilling. Love the programmability. Large capacity.
What's not so great: It is a little awkward to pour the water into the top. Could use a little tweaking at the drawing board.
The look and feel of this coffemaker is what I expected from Cuisinart. The coffee tastes great.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's not so great: none
When I say that this is the best coffee maker I have EVER had, I mean it. Sets up easy the first time. Easy to pour water in. Goldtone filter works great. Not even one drop falls when you use the pour and pause feature. No steam comes out of top when brewing. Carafe is awesome. I would pay the replacement price if it breaks.
And the best of all, GREAT COFFEE.

This brews coffee nice and quickly, however after ordering a couple for our office, one of them already leaks from a crack and i have to return it. I hope that it will work like our other one because it works great.

What's great about it: quality, features, price, warranty, NO-DRIP carafe
What's not so great: ummmmmmm, none
Best coffeemaker we've ever had. The coffeemaker is an attractive addition to our kitchen counter, and the coffee tastes delicious. While I don't know if it actually can brew a pot of coffee in 5-6 minutes, it is fast. Perhaps the most important feature for us is that the carafe is the first one that I have ever had that actually, really and truly does NOT drip. Further, the brew-pause feature does not leak any coffee when I pull the carafe out. Looks good, works well. brews great.
