Great coffeemaker at a great price! We’ve had multiple 4-cup Cuisinart coffeemakers in the past, and decided to upgrade to the 5-cup this time around. Another great product!
Disappointed that it requires somewhat more than the maximum amount of coffee to make a brew that has any flavor, and only water to the 4 cup mark can be used to make this happen. It is unfortunate that actual brick-and-mortar stores have so few choices; I wanted an insulated carafe model at a reasonable price, but none were offered.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is a nice, compact coffee maker but the description is deceptive. This makes 5-5oz cups of coffee. Now I ask...who drinks a 5oz cup of coffee?? 8oz, 10oz yes. I am also disappointed that it shuts off after 30 minutes. I have now reduced my coffee drinking to 2-12oz cups.
I have many Cuisinart products and luv them all. This small 5 cup coffee maker is at the top of my list right now. We have a small RV and it has been brewing our coffee every morning !!
