Just bought it, can’t set clock
on November 16, 2025
Posted by: Java-Helen
Bought yesterday. Followed instructions to set clock and have gibberish- you can see multiple digits on top of each other. Your guess is as good as mine as to why.

Thanks for your comments about the 12-Cup Classic Coffee Maker. When beginning to set the clock, please make sure that you remove the piece of plastic cling film that comes over the screen. This can sometimes make it appear as there are over-lapping digits. If you are still having difficulty, our Consumer Assistance Team is ready and waiting to help! You can reach them at 1-800-726-0190.

Very easy to use, esp. when you need coffee to figure out a coffee maker.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Makes very good coffee, and keeps it warm without burning it. Coffee is still tasty after four hours!

Not fond of this purchase. All other cuisinart purchases have been fine but not this one. Coffee pot turns on and off arbitrarily. We have to unplug it when not in use so it doesn’t turn on and cause a fire. Would try another as I’ve only purchased cuisinarts
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Purchasing Our Third!
on August 28, 2025

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.

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!

Turns itself on/off in brew cycle constantly
on July 25, 2025

Used to have the older version of this model and it lasted years but this one purchased in March 2025 worked until about 2 weeks ago when the brew button would turn itself off and on constantly. I'd have to monitor the brewing and turn it back on when it shut down on its own. Then after the brew it would turn itself back on. Looks like several people have had this same issue. Can I get a warranty replacement?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
