Great capacity, coffee is hot.  You need to make sure the grind is appropriate.  Too fine and it can get floaty.  Some tweaking will fix that.  Control input is not well described in the documentation.  For instance getting the auto on timer to engage is not quite how it's described in the manual. You need to hold the "button" until it flashes and then press it again, or let it time out.  Also, if you want the coffee bold you press that before the auto-on.  However, there will not be an indicator to let you know bold was selected when the auto on is programmed.  Also, my unit will sometimes shut off prematurely but I've got a warranty replacement on the way.  If you get this issue, Cuisinart will neglect to inform you that you can wait to cut the cord off the defective appliance.
