Excellent small coffee maker. Have had earlier versions of this machine and happy to be able to get this one. Easy to use, quality coffee, no drip spout and just all around nice.
This coffee maker, while somewhat different from the last 5-cup Cuisinart coffee maker, does make a great cup of coffee, very hot but slower than the previous one which this one replaced. What counts to me is it does make a GREAT cup of coffee.
I just love 💕 my new cuisinart 5-cup coffee maker with stainless steel cararafe! It makes the coffee quicker than my last coffee maker and the coffee ☕️ is hotter as well. Plus I never have to worry about breaking the carafe while I’m washing it since it’s practically indestructible! Plus it comes with its own reusable filter. What’s not to love?❤️
Pleasantly surprised at this small coffee maker. Perfect size, as I drink only 2 cups a day. Coffee taste is really smooth. Just be careful not to touch the hot carafe.
The design of this coffee maker for me is outstanding. The detachable water reservoir for the coffee maker makes it much easier to fill for a new pot of coffee. The added coffee filter is perfect for those times when you forgot to buy the paper filters. The only thing I would add is to insulate the five cup coffee pot itself so that it would hold hot coffee for longer periods.
Coffee brews nice and hot but that warming plate cutting off in 30 mins vs the normal 2 hrs is a deal breaker for me. It’s just me so drinking a hot cup of coffee fast so I can get to the other one is a no go.
I would recommend this to a friend!
