Truly enjoy my new coffee maker. This is my second. The first one served great coffee for over 15 years. I'm certain my new one will last as long.

This machine makes the coffee fine and the controls are mostly intuitive. Its one big draw back is in pouring the coffee from the pot to the cup almost always spillage resulting in puddles of coffee dripping on the kitchen counter, breakfast bar or table. This is my third Cuisinart and all three have had this terrible trait. Unless the pot is held "just so" it's gonna happen, sometimes just a little some time a good size amount. One would have hoped by now that the company would have found a solution to this irritation. Each unit has lasted from 12 to 15 years so that’s quite awhile for this problem not to have been resolved. This is why no 5 stars.

Someday, a fluid dynamics engineer will design a glass carafe for Cuisinart that does not spill when pouring.
Additionally, the interrupt spring was too stiff and if you don’t force the carafe all the way under, there will be a mess to clean up. Easy to think it’s all the way under when it is not.
Other than these issues, makes good hot coffee.

Broken after a few uses

We have used this coffee maker less than 10 times before it stopped working. The brew button flashes and doesn’t move ahead in the brew cycle. We tried all of the fixes we could find including reset, cleaning, and making sure all lids were completely shut. Nothing works and now we have a broken coffee maker 2 weeks after we got it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Coffee maker great. Carafe sucks! Carafe is cheaply made and different than previous models. Leaks while pouring as lid doesn't secure tightly.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from cuisinart.comBy Cuisinart, January 15, 2026
We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the coffee maker itself. To help reduce leaks, make sure the lid is fully seated and pour the carafe at a slight angle. For additional guidance or assistance, please contact our Consumer Assistance Center at 1-800-726-0190.
