This is my second Cuisinart Coffee Maker.  I love the option of a single cup of coffee as needed.  I use the carafe side every day.  I love the stainless carafe.  
It is hard to get the maximum amount of water in it for me.  I always have to wipe up the water I spill as I fill it.  It is just awkward to tip it far enough to get all the into the reservoir.
Other than that, it is a nice looking system and the coffee is great! (I always push the bold button.
Cuisinart products have always been very reliable for me.
