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.
I changed from using a pod type coffee maker for 15 years. I was looking for a coffee maker where I could make only a few cups. I finally found this! I like that it can make just a few cups, and keeps the coffee hot. I don't like the gold filter as you can't use a paper filter to line it, per directions. Too hard to clean.
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.
Its ok. The coffee is weak if you only make a couple of cups. It works just like a regular coffee maker. I misunderstood the single cup and thought it would hold water and coffee and make as needed.

We've had this for 3 years and 7 months. It's always had a problem with coffee grounds getting everywhere when you brew it strong but we could live with that because it looks good and keeps the coffee warm. We clean it regularly. Now it's leaking from around the metal plate in the coffee reservoir every time we use it. Looking for a more durable coffee maker this time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
