Comment:
Have bought three of these things thinking the succeeding one would be good. NOT SO. Turns off randomly, several times water flowed thru and onto the floor. Not a good buy! One would think I would learn.....The only saving grace about this product is it's interesting design.
How long have you owned it:
More than six months
Bottom Line
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Comment:
I have the white version of this coffee maker and find it totally impossible to clean... the coffee maker as well as the coffee pot. It has so many places you cannot access... ie the lid of the coffee pot... the area where you pour the water... the top of the coffee maker that flips up. Why would a coffee pot be made this way??? I would not recommend this coffee maker to anyone.

Comment:
We used this coffee maker at home to brew one pot a day about 15-20 days a month. It worked great, as advertised right up to its three-year warranty. After that, it started a slow demise. I called Cuisinart who offered suggestions in how to clean the machine--which I tried--but that only gave it another couple months of life. Even if it were under warranty, the original receipt is required for repair.

Great coffee maker at first....

Strength
Quick brew, loved the pre-set brew, attractive stainless steel, and preferred the hot plate versus the carafes that are out.
Weakness
Seems to have problems early on with warming plate/heating element which transitions into non brewing
I LOVED this coffee maker for about a year and a half. I unfortunately did not send in my warranty. My problem was the same as the complaint listed before mine with the warmer plate/heating element and then nothing. Very disappointing and now contemplating whether or not I should purchase yet another Cuisinart coffee maker.

Strength
programable, you can extend the time before it turns off to 4 hrs, makes a good cup of coffee
Weakness
hard to fill with carafe as the lid is hard to get off
Was a good coffee maker while it lasted. One day it made coffee, but when I went to get a pot everything was off, luckily the coffee was still hot. Next day everything turns on, but will not brew! This coffee pot is about a year old. They are sending me a new one, but I have to pay for shipping both ways.
