Pouring that coffee over me
on November 29, 2025

I own 2 cuisines coffee makers including this one. I can’t emphasize how angry the coffee pot makes me. Every time I pour from it, it drips down the side into a puddle on my counter. Filling the coffee pot with water-puddle. Filling my mug with coffee-puddle. I’ve come to only pouring from the pot over the sink. A coffee maker does 2 things, make the coffee and pour the coffee. Please for the love of coffee fix the spout.

We’re truly sorry for the frustration this carafe has caused—pouring should be effortless, not messy or inconvenient. We genuinely appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed feedback, as comments like yours help guide improvements to future designs. Thank you for letting us know about your experience.

For 13 years we have purchased this coffee maker 3 time. The first one lasted 5 years. Now we have 2 that work great! They are programable & you can set the temperature of the coffee. We won't change! We like it hot.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The coffee pot makes a delicious cup of coffee.
But the heat plate is scuffing already not even a month old. Don't believe that's right?
Other than that its perfect.

Great coffeemaker. I love that it has the charcoal filter to improve the flavor of the coffee.

The coffee maker is fine, but the lid (water dispensing lid) does not open far enough to pour all the water in the pot into the water reservoir. I either have to leave 2 or 3 tablespoons of water in the pot or raise it up above the lid to have room to pour out the last of the water. I did not have this problem with my 12-cup Cuisinart, which I replaced with this 14 -cup machine.

Coffee is weak and barely warm.
on December 4, 2025
Posted by: Anonymous
This coffee maker has two big problems: The coffee that it brews is very weak (I have it set on Bold and am using my usual coffee:water ratio), and secondly the coffee is not hot, even immediately after brewing. Could this be a lemon? Should I return it to the seller or will Cuisinart replace it directly?

My wife and I have only used the Quisinart coffee makers for many years. They are super reliable and make a superb pot of coffee. You can find cheaper machines, but you will not find a better brewer that you will have for years to come and deliver a great pot each time you use it.
I would recommend this to a friend!
