Cuisinart Chw-12 12-Cup Programmable coffee maker:Keep everyone's favorites on hand. The 12-cup capacity and a hot water system let you make multiple cups of coffee, hot cocoa, tea and more. A brew pause feature allows you to postpone the brew cycle just long enough to grab a quick cup.

awful design makes it difficult to use
on February 23, 2015
Posted by: evie1214
this coffee maker is annoying to operate with all of the design flaws it has. filling it is terrible: on most makers you fill the carafe with water and transfer it into the machine, very difficult with this maker. first off the lid on the carafe is not hinged so you have to stick your finger into the small spout to flip the lid off in order to fill the carafe, fine if you have tiny fingers like me but not everyone does. Then the place to pour the water in is small, pie-shaped and situated at the back which makes it difficult to not slop water everywhere, plus you can't get all of the water poured in because the carafe hits the flip up access lid. I have taken to dragging the thing as close as I can to the sink and using my kitchen sprayer to fill it. Nowhere in the reviews did I see that it uses cone filters which are 3 times more expensive and the filter basket is not tall enough to make the handle on it useful at all when dumping grounds because you can't get a hold of it. The clock display is cheesy and hard to see, I understand that it is more for the automatic brew feature but still, it's hard to set it when it's hard to see it. The thing beeps several times after it's done brewing which defeats part of the purpose of auto-brew since it acts like an alarm clock. There is no way to by-pass the auto shut-off for people who drink coffee all day long so you have to keep turning it back on to keep the coffee hot which encourages more annoying beeping. I have not found a purpose for the "auto off" button and the carafe is hard to remove and re-set as it has to be tipped down when setting it back onto the warmer. This coffee maker is not a good choice for the elderly (like my husband) or someone with parkinson's (like me) as it is just too difficult to use. I gave it 1 star only because I couldn't give it none but on a scale of 1 to 10 I give it a -15. Should have spent my money on another Bunn instead.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
