I have had two of these coffeemakers over the last year, and I have to agree with the other reviewers. There are good features to this coffeemaker - freshly brewed coffee tastes very good, it's nice to keep it hot inside the coffeemaker, and it looks nice on your counter. HOWEVER, there are some major problems here. I haven't had "steam problems" mentioned by another reviewer, but the condensation from the lid definitely runs down the back of the coffeemaker (and right onto the cord) when you open it to clean it. The biggest problem we've had, however, is that if we make anything more than 8 cups of coffee the grounds overflow and go into the container that holds the coffee, then plug up the spout where the coffee is poured out into your cup. Not only does this leave grounds in your coffee, but occasionally it clogs the spout making it impossible to shut, so coffee just pours out - all over your counters, floor, and in our case, into the drawers under the counter too. First we tried a replacement filter, then Cuisinart sent us an entirely new unit. Same problem each time. On the positive side, Cuisinart's customer service has been very good, and they are again replacing our unit - this time with a different model.
Customer Review: Don't waste your money
We have now buried our THIRD Cuisinart 12-cup Coffeemaker. As the other reviewer said, they just stop working. The merchant has given replacements to this point, but we are actually tired of taking the item back, and don't want another bad machine. It has gotten almost embarrassing. Also, this coffeemaker can't be kept under cupboards or near curtains due to the steam. When you open the back to fill, the condensation runs down the machine and onto the countertop. It is hard to fill, hard to see where you are pouring when filling. The Auto-On function was very handy, and it did make fairly good coffee when it worked, it just won't keep working.
