This is the third expensive coffee maker I've purchased. All of them have been disastrous: recalled, cracked or high maintenance, like this one, which has flooded the kitchen, ruined wooden furniture, and taken up more time than my family. This coffee pot needs cleaning more often than I make coffee; it blocks, floods and refuses to function, so the water evaporates in steam and the coffee is way too strong. Do yourself a favor, as I have done: buy a $20 or $30 cheap coffee pot, and leave the Cuisinarts for people who have nothing else to do in life but deal with their coffee pot.

This is a beautiful coffee maker and when first used, loved it. Now, three months in, it is defective even after a couple of cleanings (not brewing properly - incomplete cycles). Could be clogged? The grounds do stick to the top lid and when not very carefully wiped off will fall into the water basin. It does come with a 3 year warranty for "household only" use only (as specified with customer service). Customer service is a bit of hassle, they will tell you it is defective due to the calcium buildup and will want to know specifically how you interpret their cleaning instructions written in the their manual and what your water source is. They are not too helpful with you in getting these serviced/returned. This coffee maker is not worth the hassle. There are other brands that are more reliable and cost less. Don't waste your time and money with this one.
On a positive note, the coffee pot is better than most at pouring.

I have had very, very bad luck with coffee makers of late. I started out with the 14 cup model of the Cuisinart, which didn't even last a year. The on/off knob stopped working after about 8 months. Plus, that particular model was badly designed and when you opened it after the brew cycle, water poured (not just dripped, either) out the back, all over the counter. I had even worse luck with the DeLonghi 14 cup coffee maker.
We drink a lot of coffee, so the 14 cup sized maker (so called...more like 5 or 6 cup, all told)made sense. I soon realized that it's very difficult to find a 14 cup coffee maker, and when you do, it's very, very difficult to find replacement parts. So, after an exhaustive search, I finally settled on this model. I purchased it in August, and have waited a few months just to be sure I liked it before reviewing it (I formerly gave the DeLonghi 5 stars, and when it died after 6 weeks, I couldn't change my rating...grrrr).
First off, I love the black matte finish! It looks brand new even after several months' use (and we brew at least 2 pots per day, sometimes 3 or 4). Furthermore, those 2 cups make a big difference when it comes to the design of the top of the maker. Virtually no drips out the back when it's opened.
The coffee tastes great, and if you want it even hotter, there's a setting for that. I think the "normal" setting is fine, but everyone's got different taste. Also handy is the "self clean," which is a misnomer...what it does is tell you when the pot needs to be "vinegared". It doesn't do it itself...you must clean it manually, of course. It's also a good idea to regularly change the water filter (when it needs "self cleaning" is a handy time). Wish those were more readily available.
My only minor gripe is that when you do use the amount the manual says to use, you end up with wet coffee grounds all over the inside of the lid. No big deal...just wipe it down after each use.

The review of the seller - good service - I received this coffee maker within 3 days of my order - great service. The review of Amazon - not so great in this instance. My original search was for coffee makers with grinder, so my assumption (my fault) was that the 10 that displayed had grinders on them. Not so; when I went to wrap this gift, I didn't see 'grinder' on the box so additional search on Goggle provided this model did not have a grinder. I contacted the seller (3 tries) but finally was able to get the information necessary to return the product. Once I had that information, the return and credit for the return went smoothly althought not for the entire amount of my purchase. I paid for the shipping to return the item, but then didn't receive the total amount of my purchase from the seller. Shopping online didn't prove to be any time or money saver in this instance. I did not attempt another purchase through Amazon as Christmas was coming and I needed the gift so I bought it locally at about the same price I would have paid on Amazon. Lesson learned - online shopping doesn't replace hands on, take the time shopping that is needed to avoid returns. Time is money, yes, but time not spent can also be costly.

This is a great coffee maker to make that perfect cup. I use a cuisinart burr grinder which is a must. If you don't use fresh beans and Fresh ground coffee you will never get that perfect cup. I like to try out different types of beans. This coffee maker is great for that I realy like the metal mesh filter and the charcol water filtration. I also like the 1 to 4 cup feature for when I don't feel like drinking a whole pot my my self. The adjustable temp feature is great to because some times I like It black and some times I use creamer. But for those of you who complain that it doesn't brew good coffee you will never get that perfect cup I you are using stale beans or a stale grind.
