I've only had this coffee maker for about a month so I can't attest to it's longevity. It's my first Cuisinart product but it seems so far to be living up to the brand's reputation for quality. The coffee comes out at the perfect temperature (piping hot, not scalding hot) and tastes absolutely delicious! I don't know how well the water filter works since I always use filtered or bottled water to begin with. The tap water in Atlanta has a lot of chlorine in it which can make the coffee bitter, so the water you use is just important as the coffee you use. I set the keep warm timer to 4 hours and the last cup is as good as the first. If there is coffee left over I pour the rest into a thermal carafe and save it for later. If I empty the pot before the timer cuts it off, I make sure to turn the unit off to avoid burning any remains at the bottom. The handy "gas gauge" on the front is a great way to tell approximately how much is left. You'll need to make sure the tank is completely empty before brewing a new pot. Although the water reservoir is removable, I find it easer to use a pitcher or large plastic cup to fill it from the top. The LED light above the dispensing alcove is a handy feature to let you know when your cup is almost full.
Other reviews I've read complained of leaks and drips. I've not had any major problems with this but I did experience some water on my counter top one morning. I discovered that the drip pan had run over. I emptied the pan and dried everything off. Then I ran the unit again without the coffee. I small amount of water (no more than a tablespoon) runs into the pan near the end of the brewing cycle. Once brewing stopped, I opened the lid and observed that the steam generated during brewing had condensed into water droplets on the lid and shower head. As I tilted the lid back more droplets ran down the rear inside of the unit and out into the drip pan. My conclusion is that there is not anything wrong with the unit and that the water running into the drip pan is just condensation and not a leak. I just have to remember to check the drip pan every couple of days and empty it. Problem solved.
I have been using the included wire mesh basket to hold the ground coffee. The cons to this are that the basket is a bit difficult to clean and it allows more of the fine grounds to pass through resulting in a fine sludge at the bottom of the pot. If you use the mesh basket you'll need to clean the unit more often. The pros to using the mesh basket are that you are saving trees and I think the coffee actually has a bit more flavor, and isn't that what it's all about?
The unit is a bit bigger than it looks in the photo and does take up a good bit of counter space. It's billed as a 12-cup unit but they are basing it on 5 oz cups. An actual cup is 8 oz so you are really only getting 7.5 cups from a full pot. I've had many coffee makers over the years but this is my first with a dispenser instead of a carafe. So far I've been very happy with it.
In conclusion, while the unit is a bit bulky, it is very attractive. It is easy to use and maintain. Most importantly, it makes a great-tasting cup of coffee!

Very happy with purchase. Cord length is also good.
Overall, really like the coffee maker. Brews good coffee and does it much faster than our older coffee maker (say about 10min to get 12 cups). Some observations based on other reviews I read prior to purchasing:- The charcoal filter not seating fully on the water outlet on the reservoir, and therefore not providing any filtering. This is absolutely true - it doesn't sit fully on the outlet, allowing water to completely bypass any filtering. Total design flaw that was likely not caught in any quality controls during prototype or testing. Doesn't bother me, I just don't use the filter.- The power cord length being really short. Some reviews say that the cord is only a foot or so long (or even shorter) requiring an extension cord. I can only speak for myself but our coffee maker's cord was plenty long. I will say, however, this was possible only after tugging on the plug end pretty hard to get the remaining cord length out of the storage area on the bottom. My guess is that people that had this problem didn't pull hard enough.

I was skeptical when I ordered it, but this coffee maker is honestly even better than I expected.

I was intrigued by the notion of no coffee pot. I thought it was a really nice-looking machine. But in theory, I felt like there would be more cleaning to do because the coffee is stored inside the machine in a reservoir, and I assumed it would be tricky to clean that out every day.
I decided to just give it a shot. It arrived and right away, I thought it looked a lot more impressive than I'd expected. It's a very sharp looking machine. Also, it keeps a pot of coffee hot longer than your typical coffee pot, in my experience. This is important to me as I drink coffee for hours after I wake up.
First night, I set the coffee maker to brew a pot 10 minutes before I would be waking up. I got up that morning, came to my kitchen, viola. Fresh brewed coffee, no pot, just a convenient tab you press down like when you're getting coffee in a hotel lobby.
Have had it for about a week now. Cleaning the coffee filter out and the coffee reservoir (the chamber that holds the whole pot of coffee inside the machine, is much easier than I expected. Both the coffee filter and the coffee reservoir/chamber have convenient little handles, and they slide right out of there with ease. And then it's really easy to rinse them.
I can honestly say that so far, this coffee maker has been much better in general than I expected. It looks nicer than I expected, it's easier to operate and clear than I anticipated, the coffee stays hotter and taste better than I'd expected.
Really good buy here.
