A great Cuisinart coffee maker at a reasonable cost.

The Cuisinart coffee maker is fully programmable, with a variable auto shut off. It comes with a gold tone reusable filter and a built in replaceable water filter. I love the stainless steel exterior that matches with my other stainless appliances.

I can program my coffee to be ready when I wake up in the morning, but even if I forget it only takes a short while before I can have a fresh brewed pot ready. I love how easy the Cuisinart is to use, I have had several other coffee makers and they can get quite complicated just to make a 'cup of joe!'

With our well water we love that it has an extra filter that we can replace for more tasty coffee.

The Cuisinart coffee maker also has a self cleaning setting, which keeps things clean, fresh and moving quickly if it is used regularly. I love that my water is filtered a second time after my regular tap filter, so it is always fresh and clean tasting. My coffee seems to go a little further and I don't use as much with well filtered water.

I also love that it isn't an astronomically priced machine that I would feel terrible replacing in a year or two when it has been used up. It is priced very reasonably and if I remember correctly when I bought it I also got a free Cuisinart toaster for free!!

I am a little disappointed that I didn't get the model with the built in coffee bean grinder, my in-laws have that and that little extra fresh taste to the coffee is very nice.

With everyone around me getting the single cup coffee makers these days, I am glad to still have my full size pot of coffee everyday, I love the smell of coffee, even if it has been sitting around for a while.

The timer on my Cuisinart automatically turns the pot off - if I don't - is in a short enough time that the coffee never tastes burnt.

In closing I do love a fresh brewed, full bodied cup of coffee and I love to know that I am getting a good deal. The Cuisinart Coffee maker has given me both, and I would gladly buy another. Especially if I can get a current looking model that matches my appliances like the stainless steel that I have now!
