Love it...wish reservoir wasn't plastic.

I've had this for years and it works great. I read some reviews that said it leaks but I've found that when this happens it's because grinds get caught in the out-valve of the reservior container. A simple rinse with water and inserting my finger into the valve fixes the problem every time!
My only wish...that the reservoir wasn't plastic. I'm trying to eliminate plastics wherever I can, especially if heated, but the other features of this product meet my family's needs perfectly, so I've been hesitant to swap it for another with a carafe.
Cuisinart...if you read this, perhaps consider changing the reservoir to stainless.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have owned other brands of coffee makers but this one is the best. I love the fact there is no carafe. They always break or they leak all over the counter if the pause pour clogs. It makes an excellent flavorful cup of coffee. The auto program is easy to use too.

This is my second Cuisinart Coffee on Demand. I set up the coffee to be brewed in the morning before I wake up and then enjoy immediately. It stays fresh and hot all day and is loved by every guest I have.

Let me start by saying, I am not a coffee fanatic. I like my coffee hot, black and reasonably strong. This coffee maker does the job well and I like the carafe is heat controlled so that you never have to worry about the last cup being burned, like most other coffee makers. Also, there are no little pods to worry about disposing of.
My only complaint is the valve seems to degrade slowly. Our last one lasted a little over 3 1/2 years. One morning I awakened to a cup of java, and a counter full of Folger's Finest. But I like the unit enough to spring for a new one.

I first used the Cuisinart 12 cup coffeemaker on vacation this past Fall. I was so impressed I asked my wife to get me one for Christmas. She did, and I have enjoyed it every day since. I would absolutely recommend this appliance to anyone looking for a quality product.

We are on our fourth On Demand Coffee Maker. This is the perfect coffee pot! The coffee does not burn the way it would in a glass pot and it is so easy to just "pour" one single cup. We love it!
I would recommend this to a friend!
