This is my third Cuisinart 12 cup programmable coffee maker.  My only complaint is the gauge that shows how much coffee remains broke on my first 2 coffee makers within 12 months and then eventually the warmer has gone out as well.  We have our coffee pot going 24 hours a day so it gets lots of use.  I have purchased a few other coffee makers in between my Cuisinarts but never like them near as well so end up giving them away and buying another Cuisinart!
