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
This machine is durable, brews a great cup of coffee, has some good automatic features, timed, temperature of carafe, etc.
Has basic functionality and includes a water filter, filter and timer/heater functions.
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).
I know stuff don’t last forever, so when we need a replacement coffee maker we always return to this make and model coffee maker.
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 .
I found it a bit overpriced to be honest.
I try to buy when on special under $100.
Shipping
Faster and reliable than our old one.
Packaging/appearance
The video shows the product being unpacked.
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.

The glass carafe can also be removed while the coffee maker is brewing just be aware that the brew will continue and eventually spill out of the filter if the carafe is left out for too long
