What this coffee maker is built to handle
- The timer can be set up to 24 hours ahead, and the auto-off window runs from 0 to 4 hours with a ready tone you can turn on or off.
- If you usually drink one mug, a smaller brewer wastes less counter space and fewer grounds.
This Cuisinart is a drip machine for the household that brews a full pot rather than a single mug. The glass carafe holds 14 cups, and the cup note means roughly 5 oz each, so expect a generous batch for a crowd or a thermos fill.
The 1-4 cup setting is the part we'd consider if you sometimes brew small. It adjusts the cycle for a short batch instead of running the full-pot program. Brew Strength Control adds a bold option when you want more extraction from the same grounds, and Brew Pause lets you pour a cup before the cycle finishes.
What $99.95 buys and how the comparison works
At $99.95, this offer sits below the typical price over the last 90 days of $112.24. That comparison is a recent average, not a typical price over the last 90 days or a previous sale, so treat the $12.29 difference as a modest break rather than a dramatic markdown.
Coffee makers in this size range often cost more once you add programmability and a warming plate with selectable temperature. The rating here is 4.4 from 44,291 reviews, which tells you the model has a long track record with buyers.

Counter fit, settings and daily care
A 14-cup machine takes real counter depth, so measure your cabinet clearance and outlet reach before it arrives. The water window helps you fill without guessing, and the warming plate has Low, Medium or High settings for how hot you want the carafe to stay after brewing.
Plan on paper filters and the size they come in, plus a carafe that needs a rinse and a descaling routine over time. Neither the filter type nor a descaling schedule is fixed here, so check the manual for what Cuisinart specifies before you buy.
When a smaller brewer makes more sense
Skip this if your household rarely finishes more than a couple of cups, since a full-size machine still asks for the same cleanup and counter footprint. A single-serve brewer or a smaller drip model fits that routine better.
Also pass if you want coffee to stay hot without a warming plate, or if you need a thermal carafe you can carry out the door. This model is built around a glass carafe and a heated base, and that's the tradeoff to accept.
