Excellent little brewer. Better than others I've h

I've had this 5 cup brewer a few days but so far I can definitely tell a difference in the taste of my coffee. It really has a quality taste. It's hot and stays hot on the plate. My previous brewed 4 cups in like 60 seconds which I think is why it lost most of the taste. I do 4 cups and it takes a few minutes. So not long but long enough to let the water absorb into the grounds and absorb flavor. I love the reusable filter. I think that helps with more robust flavor. Is basically a plastic coffeemaker and weighs nothing but it is done right. My only issue is that the lid to the filter holder must be kind of locked into place and is hard to pop up because of that. Otherwise for the money, probably better then some expensive brewers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my little 4-cup Cuisinart coffee pot. I didn’t give it five stars because it doesn’t stay on very long. Other than that it makes a nice hot cup of coffee in the morning.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this coffeemaker when my household downsized. It's easy to use and easy to clean. It makes good coffee but, be aware, the cup size is only about six ounces. I drink two large cups each morning do I fill the carafe to four cups. This is no downside to this coffeemaker, and it takes up very little room on the counter.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] POSITIVES: * Makes a good cup of coffee. * Uses cone filters (which I believe makes better coffee). * Fairly small footprint. * Easy to see how much water you're filling it with. * Metal carafe cannot be accidentally broken.
NEGATIVES: * I learned the hard way that the upper part of the interior of the carafe has a plastic ridge that is sharp enough to cut skin and draw blood if you hand-wash it. (!) * Even when the filter basket looks like it's set in place; you have to give it a deliberate light push until it snaps into its correct position. I've never seen a filter basket whose positioning is so fussy. It's not difficult to do, but it's not at all obvious. * Lid for water chamber is not attached to the chamber nor the unit, and can be accidentally dropped into the water chamber.

I recently bought this small Cuisinart drip pot to replace a small percolator. It is easy to use and the coffee tastes great. It has a turn-on button, stays warm 30 minutes, and has automatic cutoff. When it is dripping the flow cuts off for 20 seconds if you want a fast start. Take the basket out to empty the grounds. I bought the stainless steel pot because I have broken too many glass ones in the past. I love it.

Brews coffee at a good temperature, and quickly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this coffeemaker for use in our motorhome. Wanted a smaller footprint. Disappointed that it didn’t have a preset time brew feature. Also made the “assumption” that the stainless steel carafe was a “thermal” one…WRONG!!…it makes really good coffee, but I wish it had more features.

I love my new coffee pot. It brews fast and coffee tastes great. My previous coffee maker took forever to brew and most of the water went up as steam and not into the coffee. This pot puts off no steam and takes no time at all to brew 5 cups for me. I have to say the coffee tastes a lot better too. I think it's because of the shower type dispenser that sprinkles over the grounds. Love this machine.
