I love this little coffee maker, which I got to replace a very Gevalia coffee maker. I did a fair bit of research and initially tried a fancier more expensive model which didn’t live up to the hype. This Cuisinart maker is perfect for one person and great for small kitchens. With good quality beans, the result is an exceptional cup of coffee.
I would recommend this to a friend!

While the coffee brewed was fine, this coffee maker does not live up to Cuisinart standards:
1) The coffee flow shut-off valve did not work most of the time (a problem we've never run into with our prior 12-cup Cuisinart coffee makers, 2) The lid over the grinds does not completely, and yet is difficult to open, 3) the reusable coffee mesh is made of plastic rather than copper (you have to separately order a copper one), 4) the On/Off switch is too easily switched on - which has happen to me a couple of times when moving the maker backward after filling the water reservoir,creating a mess, and 5) the metal carafe is made of very thin material and will easily dent. In conclusion this product does not live up to anticipated Cuisinart standards.

We needed a second coffee pot and I got this one. It has been great. It makes really flavorful coffee. I think the charcoal filters really improve the pureness of the coffee taste. I also use brown paper filters and grind the beans. Five cups is a nice size, not too big or too small. Now, I look forward to my morning cup of coffee every day.

A glass craft would be nice so you know how much coffee is remaining. The hot pad seems to leave a burn mark on the bottom of the craft.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Best little coffee pot I’ve had. Have had several over 30+ years. Dependable, easy to clean and makes delicious coffee. Perfect for senior citizen widow who loves coffee.

Love this compact coffee maker! It's easy, the water chamber is removable for ease of filling and cleaning! Coffee is hot and delicious! Light indicators are good. Also like that coffee stays hot enough when I go for another cup. Great value for the money.
