PerfecTemp 14-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker
Product Details
Web ID: 1118123Bitterly Disappointed
In spring 2024 I bought my third Cuisinart programmable coffeemaker. The brand had always been reliable, but not this time. By December it was dead. The “clean” light came on repeatedly, no matter how many times I cleaned it out. The quality of the coffee was horrible towards the end — about 40% of the water evaporated, leaving a bitter brew. Brewing a pot took 20 minutes, with water remaining in the bottom of the unit even after it “beeped” to indicate coffee was done. After much frustration, I shelled out big time for an expensive machine with a 5 year warranty that makes wonderful coffee. No more Cuisinarts for me.

Good purchase
Makes great coffee. I use the 1-4 cup option and it takes about five minutes to brew.

Easy to use, great coffee, attractive look.
This is the second time I purchased this model. My previous one stopped working after almost seven years. Do I wish it lasted longer? Yes, but most things don’t seem to last as long as they used to. It makes great coffee, has many desirable features and is easy to use and clean.

Good coffee… But design flaws make it sloppy
I’ve owned many coffee makers over the last 40 years. And I generally like the Cuisinart. I recently had my old Cuisinart fusible links burn out, soap, I think I’m actually going to replace those and get that back up and running. This new Cuisinart wasn’t bad, but, There are some peculiar things with the design. Although it looks good. The place where you have to pour the water in is difficult to get to because the lid only goes back to a 90° angle. In other words it’s vertical, but it won’t go any farther back and it makes it difficult to pour the water in without getting it all over the place. What makes it worse is the Top that they have for the 14 Cup pot and the way it sits on the shape of the 14 cup pot I have noticed makes dripping and spilling water when trying to pour a serious problem. The steer the angle you’re trying to achieve while pouring, the more water that just gets out all over the place. Every single morning I am wiping up a puddle. These are design flaws… Because the pot is taller, the way the very top of the pot is shaped and the detail of the edge of the part where you pour from, and with the lid, it just doesn’t seem to work, right… I would probably look for a different model. I’m gonna keep this one as my back up for when I have lots of company.
