Sometimes the coffee is cloudy when you use the provided basket. Definitely have to use filters if you like your coffee to be transparent-ish. The lid is a little bit awkward on the pot. It pops off and on like a Cool whip container lid. If you use filters it does make a great cup of coffee.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the third Cuisinart coffee maker I have purchased, this one being just like the last one, and the first one being a 12 cup unit. There are 3 people in my home and 2 of us are heavy coffee drinkers, making generally 2 pots of coffee a day. I have never had any issues with any of them. It will brew a pot of coffee quickly and the burner keeps it hot for a reasonable time. The only reason I have replaced my previous units is due to wearing them out ! The most recently replaced unit was 7 years old and only replaced because the carafe got broken. The unit was looking a little shopworn, so I just got a new one, and love it. Of all the different coffee makers I've owned through the years (and I'm Almost 70 !), The Cuisinart is my favorite.
I love the product. Very much like the last cuisanart coffee pot I owned. Love the heated hot plate. That’s the reason I purchased it. Not a fan of the carafe lid. It’s clumsy to put on.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’d done extensive research before purchasing this coffee machine and am very happy I purchased it. It’s easy to use and produces a bolder cup of coffee than any other machine I’ve ever used. I strongly recommend this product.
Makes really good coffee. I've used the cheaper coffee makers and mu Cuisinart just puts out a consistently good brew. Be sure to change the filters as indicated in the instructions.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This the third Cuisinart coffeemaker I bought ,and it's great. For the price and convenience it's a win,win.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this approximately 1 month ago and am happy I did. It was a new type of coffeemaker and I was a little unsure if I was going to like it but I had a different type of Cuisinart coffee maker prior to this one and felt confident in the name of the company.
