Title: Love this coffee maker! Great tasting, very hot coffee
Review: Update: The first one I bought lasted about 19 months. The price has increased almost 50% since I bought that one. When it died I tried a few other models that are less expensive. After a day or a week I returned those and ultimately bought another one of these. I’ve had my second one about 11 months now. I will likely never buy anything else. Best coffee I’ve ever been able to make at home. It used to be if you bought something from Cuisinart you could expect to still have it in five years. I wish that was still the case, but if I’m being completely honest I would buy a new one of these every year if I have to.I looked at every model of thermal carafe coffee maker and read a lot of reviews before choosing this one.This is, by far, the hottest coffee I have ever gotten from a home coffee maker. For me, this is a huge selling point.The thermal carafe keeps the coffee hot enough to enjoy without microwaving for at least 4 hours. Even after 6 or 7 hours the coffee is still warm and tasty. Because it does not use a warming plate to keep the coffee hot, the last drop of coffee tastes as good as the first. I will never go back to a glass caraf. I like the flavor of my coffee better than I have with any other coffee maker I've ever owned.The carafe is large. It holds almost 2 liters if you fill it to the 12 cup mark.The pour spout is designed specifically so It doesn't dribble all over the place when I pour.It makes the coffee pretty quickly. Speed depends on the settings you use and, obviously, how much coffee you're making. A full pot without the bold setting is read in about 11 or 12 minutes.It is completely programmable so you can setup the coffee to be ready at whatever time you'd like. It also has a "1-4" button for if you're making 1 to 4 cups of coffee, and a "bold" button if you like stronger coffee. Those two buttons have a similar function. They slow the water flow over the grinds so you get the full flavor in a small pot, or a bolder flavor in any pot.A note about pouring because I've seen some reviewers that didn't like how the pot pours. I don't use the pot to fill the reservoir with water. I did that the first time and it pours way too slowly. That was aggravating. That may be why others complained. So I use a plastic pitcher for filling the reservoir. It appears that the top to the pot is designed to control the flow rate when pouring. I see this as a positive. When I'm filling my coffee cup I'm never wishing it would pour faster. I'm just glad coffee isn't getting all over the counter, the floor, or me.I noticed some reviewers said the buttons stopped working after a few months or a year. I will say that it doesn't take much force at all to get a response from whatever button you push. Because of those reviews I make a point of not using much force when I hit "Brew" or whatever button I'm pushing. If you poke them hard over and over, I could see them not working anymore after awhile.This coffee maker looks nice in my kitchen. If you have stainless steel appliances it will match. It takes up a very reasonable amount of space on my counter. The measurement lines are on the right side in the middle; however you can pour the water into the reservoir from either side. The reservoir is the whole back of the unit and is accepts water on either the left of the right side.The filter basket is cone shaped. It comes with a gold screen reusable filter insert. I still use a paper filter in that as well because I don't like any sediment in my coffee. The paper cone filters cost a little more than standard filters but not so much that it is deal-breaker for me. A few extra dollars every 3 or 4 months.You have the option to use a charcoal water filter, but if you never use one it doesn't change how to unit performs. The charcoal filter's purpose is to filter things like the chloriine flavor out of your water. I use it.Some reviewers complained that the instructions are lacking in detail. Maybe the manufacturer has updated them since then. For the most part the setup is all pretty logical. The one thing I found difficult to figure out and not explained in the instructions was getting the charcoal filter into the filter holder. Turns out it is apparently so easy it looks hard. I included a few pics. On the stem portion of the charcoal filter holder is the word "open" with an arrow pointing downward. Right below that on the base is a little notch that sticks up. Just gently pull on the little notch and the front of the base flips open. The back left corner of the water reservoir has a slot cutout in the bottom to hold the base of the charcoal water filter setup. You just gently set it down in there. You don't have to force it. And it stays in place. The last pic is of the cutout in the bottom of the water reservoir. Other than that setup was really easy. The filter basket only fits in one way. It's a no-brainer to see where the water goes. The instructions tell you how to use all the buttons and features.There is a ready tone that beeps 5 times when the coffee is finished brewing. It's pretty loud. If you don't like that, you just press the "Tone" button near the clock face and the ready tone is off.It comes with one charcoal water filter, several cone shaped paper coffee filters, and a coffee scoop. Amazon sells the charcoal filters and the paper cone filters for very reasonable prices.I've been using this coffee maker since the day after Christmas 2019 and I have no complaints. I will update this review if anything changes. I've had a Bunn, and several models of Hamilton Beach over the course of 20 years. So far, this is the best coffee maker I've ever owned.

Title: Nice machine, makes awesome coffee!
Review: My hamilton beach machine was having an issue with the dispenser spring and I had had it for over 10 years, so I opted for a new one instead of fixing it. I specifically wanted a thermal carafe to preserve the coffee quality better than the hot plate does. This Cuisinart is perfect. Easy to set up, program, change the filter (we already filter our water but the second filter is a bonus for flavor!) and use. No, you can’t fill it easily with the thermal carafe-but that’s no problem. I have a glass pitcher we use for filling it with water. Feels and makes coffee like a quality machine, and that’s most important.Speaking of which: The coffee it makes is so much better than our old machine’s!! I didn’t realize how much better our coffee could taste. Yes, it pours slightly more slowly… we don’t care. Still way faster than our previous machine with the weak spring! Lol. And yes, if you’re not mindful of the angle when pouring, it will dribble. So no, you can’t just slop it around without thinking and expect it to pour perfectly. But I pay attention and don’t have that problem. Otherwise, the only dribbling seems to be when you interrupt it to pour a cup before it’s fully brewed; somehow that affects how the coffee comes through the lid afterwards. But I usually wait till it’s finished brewing anyway-better coffee that way. So that’s not a big deal either. I am very happy!!

Title: Good Coffee Maker
Review: I have used this model for 2 weeks now. It makes good coffee, it looks nice, and it is easy to program.1. I did read reviews for it before I purchased it. The 1 feature mentioned often in the reviews was about the length of the electric cord. It IS very short. Plan on having it Right At the Outlet. Cuisinart should spend a dime more and lengthen the cord.2. It is nice to have options for filtering coffee. A gold filter is included. I could not tell that the gold filter did a better job than the paper filter. It is a mess to clean up. And, to me, it doesn't make the coffee taste better. The paper filter works best for me.3. I did not see anything in the reviews I read about filling the water reservoir. The insulated carafe must be turned upside down, All the Way Upside Down, to empty out all of the liquid. This is not user friendly for filling the reservoir. If you put in the coffee filter and coffee and Then add the water, you will have a wet filter of coffee. Depending on how much water you spill into it, you could have a coffee drip started. So don't use the coffee carafe. Find a proper sized pitcher and fill the water reservoir first. Then add the filter with coffee.4. I have not cleaned it yet, just rinsing between uses. So no review on the cleaning aspect.5. I do like this coffee maker. I must say it makes good coffee. The water temperature is not so hot it makes the coffee bitter; it's not so cool it doesn't steep it properly. The carafe keeps the coffee nice and hot over 2 hours. I never have any left past that time.

Review: I LOVE my coffee maker and I have zero regrets making the switch back to a percolator. I used a Keurig for 10 years and when my machine broke I decided to go back to a more conventional coffee maker. I am so glad I did, I have used this appliance everyday for the past 16 months and it still works great. I had to descale once in this time period with vinegar due to my hard water. You can brew 12 cups of coffee in about 5 minutes and the coffee remains pipping hot for at least 5 hours thanks to the stainless steel carafe. I would definitely purchase another Cuisinart coffee maker. The only issue I have with this one is I find it hard to clean the inside of the carafe due to the shape of the opening.

Review: Vale cada peso que pagué por ella.El tamaño, la construcción, las funciones, todo es de calidad y, y aunque es algo lenta para hacer el café, cada taza vale la pena pues realiza una extracción bastante buena de los granos, por lo que el sabor que entrega es increíble.

Review: This machine has pretty much any feature you could ask for. Pros: Looks beautiful on my counter, it's not overly large and the stainless steel compliments my other appliances. Very simple to use, especially when programming your coffee for the morning. I like the fact that after the coffee brews you have an alert sound in which you can choose to turn off or on. Very easy to see the water level on the side when pouring the water in. Coffee is very hot when brewed. Coffee carafe keeps coffee hot for quite sometime. I left coffee in the carafe over night and it was still lukewarm the next day. Cons: When pouring the coffee from carafe you have to practically turn it up side down. You must pour slow or the coffee will spray all over. In order to clean the pot you'll have to get a scrub brush as you can't fit your hand in the carafe. Overall the pros out weigh the cons. I'm definitely keeping this machine it's make a great cup of coffee!
