Had to replace our old Hamilton Beach coffeemaker a few weeks ago - had leaking issues, as did our previous HB one.  Researched coffeemakers & decided to give the Cuisinart 12-cup programable coffeemaker a try.  We are loving this one - they seem to have taken care of the issues we had with our 2 HB coffeemakers - love the clear water container, clear cup readings after dispensing a cup, this coffeemaker's not as huge as the HB models, and there's no leaking!  This is a well-made coffeemaker, Cuisinart - kudos!
