This coffee maker is rock solid. The most important pro is its superior ability to brew great tasting HOT coffee instead of the tepid colored water spewed out by so many other brands. The warming plate has three temperature options depending upon your personal preference and can keep the coffee hot for up to 4 hours without scorching it. The gold tone permanent filter makes clean-up a breeze but you also have the option of using disposable paper filters. The small charcoal water filter eliminates chlorine taste but isn't needed if you already use filtered water. The heavy duty glass carafe pours with minimal dripping and its lid snaps on & off for easy cleaning. The control panel's retro-style toggle switch and dual twist-type selector knobs are easy to use and offer a nostalgic flashback to the simpler days before push buttons and touchpads. The small clock's LCD display can be a bit difficult to see especially in dim lighting but I consider that as a minor con since I only use it for programming the timer. The same thing applies to the small black lettering of the selector knob options which can be a bit difficult to make out against the brushed stainless steel finish. Like most any coffee maker, condensation located on the underside of the lid tends to drip when you open it after brewing; however, the water reservoir is designed with a curved lip at the upper rear to help catch dripping water when you open the lid to its fully open position a few degrees past vertical. While this coffee maker's finish is brushed stainless steel, it's made of very sturdy plastic which only makes sense because it doesn't rust & corrode over time like metal does when exposed to moisture.

This is my second Cuisinart Programmable Coffeemaker. The first one last 7 years. It's a great daily use coffeemaker. It has a nice design, the stainless steel fits into my kitchen nicely. It's easy to use, it can be programmed to have your coffee hot and fresh when you wake up! Overall, for the price it can't be beat.

Love this coffee pot! It makes a great cup of brew.

This is my second Cuisinart Brew Central 12-cup coffeemaker. It makes excellent tasting coffee. I tried another brand and returned it because of the taste. It seems to be flawless - with very easy to use features.I replaced a 10-year old Brew Central 12 Cup Programmable Coffeemaker that I gave to my son - It's still working GREAT! d on me. I liked the first one and this new one preforms very well. I was so happy with the function and taste that I bought another one! Thank you Great Offer Stock for having a great product at a wonderful price!

Love this Cuisinart coffee maker! Easy to use, brews excellent coffee, love the programmable feature. Stays good and hot in the carafe. Highly recommended!

The coffee from this coffee pot is hot and strong. The brew is flavorful with it, and it quickly brews a cup when I want it. I can also set a timer, so it’s waiting for me in the morning. We have been very happy with our purchase!

I love all the features on this coffeemaker ... The brew time is acceptable, doesn't take very long at all to brew. I can tell that it brings coffee better than my old coffeemaker

Sleek and compact, yet makes a great cup of coffee! Like that the ‘keep warm’ setting is adjustable!

This is my second Cuisinart Coffeemaker, I used the first one (a refurbished one) completely up and wanted another one just like it. It has a water filter that makes the coffee taste better and a reusable coffee filter so you don't have to buy (and run out of) paper filters, and it makes wonderful coffee and beeps when it's ready, turns itself off. I don't use the programmable feature because I am retired and don't make coffee at the same time every day, but it would be convenient if I needed it. The design is very sleek and attractive. I have owned many coffee makers over the years, but this is the best one by far.

This is a great coffee maker. If you want a HOT cup of coffee this is your unit. You can set the temperature of the warming plate and how long to keep It warming. Up to 4 hours which is great. It has a filter that purifies the water so your coffee tastes great. Wish the display was bigger and illuminated so you can see it better. Perfect size and fits under most cabinets.

Have owned this coffeemaker for 2 years, and just love the way it brews coffee. Other brands do not compare, in my opinion. Plus, it has an auto shut off after 2 hours, if you forget.

Love this coffeemaker. Has a little bit of retro look to it. Brews a great pot of coffee! Has all the perks like strength setting, timer for those who like it ready to go when you get out of bed.

We bought this as a replacement for an old one we had - same model. We just love it. Simple, stylish, and brews great, consistent coffee. Favorite feature is that you can pull the coffee pot off the machine mid-brew to pour yourself a cup and it stops the flow for you until you put the up back.

I purchased this as a replacement for an identical model that, after more than 10 years of dependable daily service, sprung a fatal leak somewhere in the reservoir near the base. I am very happy with the new coffee maker that is essentially the same (though there's some very slight differences,that require an extremely close comparison, that indicate minor manufacturing upgrades). I even kept the old one in case I ever need spare parts. I expect It will be around for a long time, and of course functions flawlessly. I do use bottled water though, as the water from our well, despite a water softener, is quite hard with calcium deposits. As a result I have very little experience to comment on the effectiveness of the water filters. Other than to say that when I previously tried one, just to see if there was any readily noticeable difference, it was simple enough to use, had no negative effect on the coffee, and left no unpleasant tastes. It seems to be comprised simply of harmless fabric particulate filter material and activated charcoal. As the water I use is bottled, and has no chlorine or other overt things to filter out, I can't speak to any experience of effective improvements in water quality., but it's straightforward enough to assume some improvement on average for anything you might normally see in municipal tap water. If you live in places like Flint, Michigan however, lower any unreasonable expectations you could possibly have, I wouldn't expect miracles, seriously. I also don't usually see the water filters in stock at my local stores. Maybe on occasion at ***, along with replacement carafes, but there seem to be plenty of reasonably priced sources on line. Otherwise, the only small issue you might have is the water level indication is inside the reservoir visible when you open the lid. You may find it difficult to utilize if your counter is not well lit.

It brews coffee very fast.

This is a great coffee maker! With its water filtering system (which I did not know about when I bought it) it makes fresh tasting coffee and I am certainly glad I bought it. The price I paid was good and I would certainly recommend it to anyone who is in the market for a coffee maker. It does not take it long to brew 12 cups of rich-tasting coffee and the carafe keeps it hot for up to 4 hours. All in all it was exactly what I wanted and more.

I love this Cuisinart coffee maker. It’s easy to use and easy to program. I also loved that it came with a removable and reusable mesh filter for the coffee grounds. You can also set the amount of hours to keep the coffee warm before auto shutoff. I do wish the time and screen was a little bigger and that the time was lit up so easier to see.

I love the features of this coffee maker. The warmer has 2 temperature settings so you can choose how hot you want the coffee to be. A unique feature is the ability to set how long you want the warmer to remain on. You can select 2,3 or 4 hours.

Very Happy with this coffee maker...brews quickly and nice quality coffee maker...

Makes a great cup of coffee. Love that can program for coffee to be ready for morning. My Brother has had this same coffee maker for a few years and it’s still going strong.
