I have a Cuisinart 12-cup that’s been used almost daily for at least 12 years, maybe longer? Got it as a work anniversary gift from the company points program. In contrast, my mom went through three Mr. Coffee 4-cup makers in that same amount of time.
I own a kBGV and a MM burr grinder. I love the brew speed and the ease-of-use.
The only downside I’ve experience so far is that it brews 4 ounce cups of coffee so it doesn’t brew close to as much coffee as our old 12 cup Cuisinart maker.
I have been very pleased with my KitchenAid drip coffee maker the past two years. Just prior I tried Cuisinart, OXO, and Braun and was not happy with the coffee flavor and other features like size/configuration. The KA brew is very tasty imo and since it is programmable, I come downstairs every morning to the smell of a fresh pot. It has stainless trim and a sleek glass carafe so it looks nice on the counter as well.
