We love our Cuisinart 12 Cup Coffee Maker. More importantly, the brewed coffee is delicious! Place your cup on the tray, and a watch your cup fill up under the lighted lever. It is easy to take apart to make the coffee, and the water reservoir is sturdy and clear. The coffee is much hotter than our previous Hamilton Beach. Don’t forget to set it for 4 hours! I ordered additional charcoal water filters, to change the recommended every 30 days. However, Cuisinart, the weirdest thing is the very short power cord. But no matter, I ordered a short 2 ft black extension that gives me the length to pull the coffee maker from under the counter to make the coffee. Another weird thing was the basket for the coffee has a handle that actually interferes as you dump the grounds into the trash. I removed the handle and it’s still easy to remove and empty. Even for these flaws, it produces the best tasting coffee. You will not regret your purchase.
This coffee maker lived up to our expectations for sure! Coffee tastes great, love the ease of using a lever to get the coffee and really appreciate the light that comes on when dispensing. The only concern is that there is a build up of moisture on the water reservoir sides after the coffee is made, which could create mold if left unattended. This was easily fixed by leaving the cover off and only putting back on after the reservoir dries.
This is our third purchase of this model. I love that the coffee does not sit in a carafe being continually burned, that the indicator tells me how much coffee is left without having to open the pot, and the tab to push to fill the cup is a million times easier than lifting a heavy carafe. We run it all day, every day, and get a new one every few years. We LOVE IT! No other models like this.
I love this coffeemaker. It is my 3rd one. After about 3 years, I end up replacing because, the lever to to dispense coffee, continues to pour out coffee. It is well priced and I think replacing 3 years is acceptable to me
Aaah… fresh, hot, delicious coffee in the morning. This coffee maker is efficient, convenient and easy to clean. Setting the brew time is easy and it automatically shuts off. I would recommend this coffee maker to anyone with a busy household in the morning.
