Makes good coffee! However, some design problems. 1. To remove carafe lid, must lift TAB UP! this is counter intuitive! 2. Filer basket lid is too hard to open! 3. Lid to water reservoir has NO TAB and easily falls in when either 0pening or closing .
I have enjoyed my coffee pot. I only gave it a 4 star because I cannot see the coffee in the pot. Seeing it is part of the experience. It does work wonderfully. Please send me a glass replacement. No! Really send me one.
This 5 cup coffee maker replaces my 4 cup Cuisinart machine of similar design. This new machine includes a few new features and improvements from the earlier, such as a removable water tank with a filter cartridge. The filter lid has a better seal, as does the carafe, so the steam is contained reducing condensation drip. The look of the coffee maker is modernized. It took under 5 minutes to brew the full tank of water. This is a 5 cup machine but cup sizes are smaller for coffee. It makes 3 standard size mugs. The filter lid must be closed completely because the no-drip valve is actuated by the lid being closed. This newer design is a good one. This coffee maker has a lot of neat features for such a small unit. Use it at the office or apartment or dorm. I take mine when we stay at a hotel so we have good coffee . I definitely recommend this Cuisinart 5-cup coffee maker.
This coffee maker replaced my ten year plus 4 cup Cuisinart. Still the best for a piping hot cup of coffee. Love the removable water reservoir and the indicator light signaling a completed brew cycle.
I have used Cuisinart 4-cup coffeemakers for ten plus years. Brewed coffee is very hot and perfect every time. Stainless steel carafe is great very easy to put filters in.
I just love my Cuisinart 5-Cup Coffeemaker. It is the perfect size for my counter top right beside my Cuisinart stainless steel 2-slice toaster. And the brewed coffee is delicious. I don't have to make coffee runs anymore to local coffee shops!!
