| I normally buy only items that have many reviews and 4 or 5 stars. This coffee maker had only two reviews but I decided to take a chance especially since it could be returned within 30 days. Even though most thermal coffee makers had many good reviews, there were too many negatives for each. I am very happy with this on so far. I have not had any of the problems as with other types -- coffee is hot, stays hot for quite some time, doesn't leak, easy pouring and cleaning, the coffee is good with not plastice taste, carafe fits properly. It does beep when the coffee is done brewing. Compact size is nice. I have not used the timer and probably never will. The best part is that there is a 3 year warranty -- I hope it lasts that long! |
WELL DESIGNED THERMAL COFFEE MAKER

| I held off for a while buying because of lack of reviews. I received my Cuisinart Monday, May 18 - defective out of box. I received my replacement, Wednesday, May 20. Cannot beat Amazon!!!! I've brewed one pot with no problems. Very easy to program, make coffee, and pour coffee (lid does not need to be turned, just pour as the lid locks when removed from base). Need to learn to adjust amount of coffee...coffee is hot! Beeps when finished. Easy to fill with water. Coffee maker has 3 year limited warranty. Very, very nice coffee maker. |
This Cuisinart coffeemaker has it all!

| This coffeemaker has a compact size (small footprint) yet brews a BIG pot of coffee! In fact, the Cuisinart Compact Coffeemaker has it all: programmable (even just 1 to 4 cups), filters the water, has a gold "rinse and re-use" coffee filter, a big thermal pot, and its easy to use. Now have coffee READY when you wake up - or brew it and let it stay HOT in the THERMAL carafe! Coffee does not sit there, and BURN, on a heating element! agf! We've enjoyed ours for years with no problems! Highly recommended. |
Great coffee!

| We were replacing a Krups coffeemaker and knew that we preferred the type with a thermal carafe. I'm very sensitive to burned coffee taste and find that a thermal carafe eliminates that problem. We do like a strong coffee, and with some tweaking, have found this coffeemaker delivers a great pot of coffee. We found that we need to increase the amount used from what Cuisinart recommends to about half again as much as they recommend. In other words, we use 1-1/2 scoops of the provided scoop per cup of coffee. The other big test for us with coffeemakers is how long they keep the coffee hot. Again, this coffeemaker delivers. Three hours later, the coffee is still hot enough that it doesn't require reheating (unless you like your coffee scorching hot). The system cleans easily. We pop all the parts into the dishwasher. Having the gold-colored filter is another great asset. Overall, a very satisfying purchase. |
Great White Coffee Maker!

I received this Coffee Maker last Friday. First of all, as another reviewer mentioned, I love the clean white/stainless steel look, and the small footprint. I have a very small kitchen and it fits easily on the counter. Second, it comes with its own charcoal filter to filter the water with, but since I use Britta water in my coffee maker, I did not install the charcoal filter that came with the coffee maker. And last, but not least, it makes great coffee. I pre-heat the stainless steel carafe with hot water while I am measuring the coffee and adding the water (remember to empty the carafe before putting into the coffee maker though).
Yes, the carafe does pour slowly because it is trying to keep the heat in, but not so slowly that I find it annoying. Since my second cup is my last cup, I just take the lid off. As far as it beeping too loudly, it doesn't bother me. That way if I am in the bedroom I can hear the coffee is done. The beeping is not nearly as annoying as my clothes dryer beeping 16 times!
For the price, and the fact that it has a 3 year warranty, looks great, is a Cuisinart, makes great coffee quickly, and is small for a 10 cupper, I give this 5 stars. |
