Pros & Cons
Pros
This is our 2nd cuisinart brew central unit. The stainless steel colour blends in well with my stainless steel appliances. Programming a brew time is easy.
Fast shipping. Longest time is 4 hours. This is my 3 rd one.
Nothing fancy. Easy to wash. Plain and simple easy to use.
Small batch button is the magic for me. It keeps our coffee hotter than other coffee machines we've tried. With it set on bold i use less grounds.
Cons
Leaking from bottom. Most likely clogged hose or maybe needs new hose. Takes triple the amount of time to brew a pot of coffee. Ended up dropping this one for a bonavita connoisseur.
Highlights
Quality
I love the cuisinart coffee maker good quality
This machine is durable, brews a great cup of coffee, has some good automatic features, timed, temperature of carafe, etc.
I have owned the above cuisinart coffee maker for 17 years, then after making coffee a few times, the burner stopped maintaining heat.
You’re supposed to be able to turn the dial to clock and set the time however mine did not work (didn’t flash or let me adjust hrs/min).
Price
Goes to show that the charcoal filters really serve a purpose and therefore worth the 50 cents a month to purchase and use them .
The same unit is priced at $139.
99 at a large canadian retail operation.
I found it a bit overpriced to be honest.
Shipping
Faster and reliable than our old one.
Competitiveness
Now, i’m back to cuisinart and the coffee brewed is the best.
This coffee maker is the same model as my last coffee maker!
I bought another brand to replace it (only lasted 4 years).
I don't think there's a better buy on the market.

You have to look down into the water reservoir to see how many cups of water you have poured in on a graduated marker inside

If you are doing less than 4 cups it is not marked on the pot and it is very difficult to see inside the reservoir

The basket overflowed a couple times but i think it’s because we added too many coffee grounds or perhaps need to use a different size of ground

The first stopped working because of lime buildup from the water so use those filter cartridges and filtered water
