Office 12 cup coffee maker
Looked around quite a bit and read a lot of reviews. Found this model and liked how it looked and was impressed with the reviews. The price was very good. Ordered it and received it very quickly. We have been very happy with the product and the the seller.

This coffeemaker works great, was recommended by my two sisters who also love it. Price was very good and it was delivered promptly.

Great Coffee Maker - A Krups Convert
Krups was my coffee maker of choice for over 25 years but the last one was so disappointing I decided I needed to try another brand. I love my new Cuisinart.

I have the matte black model and it looks great and feels substantial. The controls are easy to use and intuitive. After the first set up you will never need the manual again. Are you listening Krups?
It is relatively quiet for this type of coffee maker. The carafe never drips and the plastic rim means you don't have to worry about accidently chipping or worse breaking the carafe. Of course everything can go in the dishwasher.

A few niggles. It is a little tall and needs to pulled out from under the cabinet to open the lid for water. The water gauge inside the reservoir is relatively useless but I always use the carafe or large measuring cup for the amount of water. And the lid on the carafe could have been designed a little better. It snaps on and off.

But it makes great coffee. I'll see about the durability.
Didn't hurt it was rated #1 by the leading consumer magazine.

I Loved it -- untill it died
After going thru so many coffee makers over the years I saw this one 5 1/2 years ago and had to buy it. I figured with the Cuisinart name this beauty would be worth the money and more than just a "pretty face". It was more money than I have ever spent on a coffee maker but I loved the look of it so I went for it. Now after 5 1/2 years it stopped working! For the price and the "built like a tank" construction I am dissapointed it didn't last longer. Am I asking too much? I just would have expected 10 years from a $99.00 list price coffee maker that is used 5 days a week to brew 1 pot of coffee. I think it's the on/off switch, but it's more than I want to bother fixing myself and to have it fixed now-a-days probably gets close to buying a new one.
I would have given it 5 stars if it was still working because after all these years I still like it better than any coffee maker I have ever owned. It makes great coffee and it still looks like brand new (I have the all black-matte finish) Soooo the reason I'm here at Amazon is to buy another one just like the old one! Amazon's price and the $10.00 rebate will make it cheaper than the 1st one. I guess you can see I still recommend it even though it stopped working. It's not perfect...but "It's close enough to perfect for me".... as the song goes.

Sturdy. Easy to Use. No spills.
I've had this coffee maker for a couple weeks and am happy with it.

PROS:
* No spills. I have no problem filling the tank or pouring coffee. You have to be able to flip the lid all the way up and lean in close to the machine. The target for filling the tank is small.
* No burns. The steam when pouring the coffee isn't directed toward the handle, as it was on a prior (horrible) coffee maker.
* Very nice looking machine. The chrome shows finger prints, so the stainless may have been a better choice.
* The pause-and-pour feature works without drips.
* Easy to use.

CONS:
* No see through indicator showing the volume of water in the tank. You either have to measure in the carafe or look down into the tank for fill-markings. I knew this buying the coffee marker, but it's more of an annoyance than I expected.
* No brew-strength settings.
* The clock is small and hard-to-read except with good lighting (or younger eyes?).
