We use a Cuisinart Brew Central. 10 years old and still works perfectly.
I have a 20 year old Cuisinart that the past 5 years was only used for when I had guests. I've mostly been doing pourover on a ceramic Hario or Kalita. I recently splurged on the MM KBGV (got one for $240 on Black Friday week Amazon-returned it because I got a lighting deal on one for $179). I did a head to head comparison of taste between my MM and the Cuisinart. The MM tasted notably better taking the same amount of water, same amount of coffee and brewing in both machines. That said it's not going to match my pourovers but for drip coffee, it's about the best drip I've tasted in over 50 years of drinking and making coffee.
My Cuisinart is 22 years old, was very well regarded at the time for taste. It's still going strong.
Buying something today--right now --no one can say. Brand names with long standing reputations change over time..... I can say I have a Cuisinart drip machine that's over 20 years old. Moccamaster is well regarded still but will either of those, that I buy today be around in 20 years----don't know.
IDK--have a cuisinart that's over 20 years old. It was well regarded at the time. Just got a Moccamaster and hands down it made good coffee, better than most restaurants and cafes I frequent. I do pourovers mostly---Kalita or Hario -both units last decades.
We’ve been super happy for many years with the Cuisinart 14 cup coffeemaker.
Other than the Mochamaster that others have mentioned, I’ve had a Cuisinart programmable 14 cup drip coffee maker for 6 years so far with no issues. I plan on getting the Mochamaster next.
Cuisinart 14-cup coffee maker. It is simple and it gets the job done and makes a good pot of coffee. Had the Oxo 9-cup before but I don't know if it was an older model or what but the rain cap on it would fall off and eventually get thrown away on accident. It made good coffee as well, I just didn't like that it didn't have a carafe heater element so I eventually got rid of it. I recently got an Aeropress to make an espresso type drink and it works great. Haven't tried to make a cup of coffee in it yet.
I’ve had mine for 12 years and always recommend it
Same. This is really reliable and consistently brews a really good pot fast. We descale every few months, maybe 3x year if I’m good about it.
This is what we bought last year when our 10 year old KitchenAid was slowly dying (do not take that as an endorsement of KitchenAid lol). We love it!
