Customer Reviews for Cuisinart - Classic 12-Cup Coffeemaker - Black

So sad to now as I am requested to write an opinion, I see that the model that I ordered are being discontinued. I found out that my hand tremor might be related to aluminum toxicity and this model did not have an aluminum warming tube like many other brands and models by Cuisinart. This model has a magnesium tube. Cuisinart has a 14 cup model and another model that did not have aluminum but we only brew 6 cups/day so a 14 cup model would be a bit much. We have been loyal Cuisinart coffee machine users for many years. This is our 3rd. We ordered another one for my brother in law and one for our camper. I hope that Cuisinart develops another 12 cup model without aluminum.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I was so pleased with the first coffee maker of this model that when after years of daily use I finally had to replace it, I bought the exact same model which is working like a charm, just like its predecessor !

Great, solid coffee pot. Purchased for our older parent and the buttons are easy to use.

We love this coffee maker. It keeps the coffee hot for four hours, brews a great cup and regret buying a very expensive coffee maker we gave away. Cuisinart is the BEST!

Purchasing Our Third!

Reluctantly my husband I have decided to purchase our 3rd Classic 12 cup Coffeemaker. Our 1st one lasted for several years. Unfortunately, our 2nd is not working properly, we purchased it February 2024. The light is brighter and it randomly turns on and starts beeping. Also when we make our morning coffee, we select the 1-4 cup option and it takes a few tries for the on button to work. So why are we purchasing another? My husband is an architect and prefers all white appliances in the kitchen.

I purchased this coffeemaker to replace a 12 year old Cuisinart 12 cup programmable coffee maker. 3 months later, the product was turning itself on, meaning it was a fire hazard! Luckily I did not have an empty pot sitting on the heating pad otherwise it would have shattered glass all over my countertop. I would not buy Cuisinart again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is my third 12 cup classic coffeemaker. I continue to buy it because it’s white, it looks great in my kitchen and if history repeats itself I can expect it to work well for at least two years. The previous two worked about three years, they had problems with programming and would turn on and off intermittently. But hey, it looks good.
