Really nice coffee maker. A hot cup of coffee every morning! Beats the competition in price and function.

It is a good size for one or two people. I like the overall size of the coffee maker on the kitchen cabinet. It is easy to operate and clean. The mesh filter is fine enough to use without a paper filter. The instructions are easy to follow.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have had a Cuisinart 4 cup coffee maker for years and years. This version is definitely an upgrade! Coffee tastes better and I like the water tank in the back that is separate. I will say that only time will tell if the plate starts to flake off like the previous maker.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's a perfect carafe coffee maker. The coffee really taste better. Only complain is that it always drips from the top when I remove it and pour. Also carafe gets stain and needs a good cleaning. Otherwise I like it a lot and it's a space saver.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is my 2nd one- my boyfriend wanted one too! Love the size, the shut-off feature when lifting the pot, and the removable clear water tank.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fair coffee maker. Not as consumer friendly as my old 12-cup Cuisenart.

Turns off too fast, carafe does not keep the coffee warm
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from cuisinart.comBy Cuisinart, April 27, 2026
Thank you for your feedback on the 5‑Cup Coffeemaker with Stainless Steel Carafe, and we understand your concerns about heat retention. Thermal carafe coffeemakers are designed to automatically turn off after brewing because they do not use a heating plate like traditional glass carafe models; instead, the double‑wall insulated stainless steel carafe is designed to keep coffee warm by retaining heat. For best temperature retention, we recommend pre‑warming the carafe with hot water before brewing, ensuring the lid is fully closed between pours, and minimizing how often the lid is opened. Thank you for your feedback, which helps us improve future models.
