Customer Reviews for Cuisinart - Classic 12-Cup Coffeemaker - Black

We bought this to replace a one and a half year old Cuisinart coffee maker that developed a nasty drip in the carafe when trying to refill the reservoir. This one developed that same drip all over the counter after two days. The auto shutoff feature that is supposed to allow you to remove the carafe during brewing doesn’t work well and allows the coffee to keep dripping. The plastic filter holder doesn’t fit snuggly and tries to float to the top when water is added to the reservoir. I also had to put several layers of scotch tape over the blue display because it is blinding. This really isn’t a very good coffee maker.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Our original Cuisinart coffeemaker broke and we, naturally, wanted to buy the same one to replace it. The new one can get very noisy as it brews. Also, you have to wait about a minute after you hear the beeps that tell you the coffee is ready. If you pull the carafe out before then, a tiny bit of coffee from the filter might drip onto the hot plate. These things don't really bother us because it DOES make a good cup of coffee.

This is the best coffee maker -- and white is the best color and glass is the best pot material. I have been buying this coffee maker (including it's predecessor models) for several years and will continue to do so as long as they don't change its features and design.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I’m difficult to please.
And I am very pleased with the fact that it produces a really great coffee from my not so inexpensive coffee beans.

Good coffee maker. Easy to set up. Took some time to get the coffee strength to where I like it.

The opening for water is very small and can be difficult to pour water into it without pouring it into the coffee bean area. Poorly designed, especially for people with arthritic hands.

Difficult to pour the last bit of water due to how the top is configured. Also the carafe top is designed in a way that guarantees it will wear out early

It’s early in my ownership of this coffee maker. I owned one before that wouldn’t make more than 3 cups of coffee after 7-8 cups of water was used.
So far though this coffee maker makes coffee fast. It’s also a lot easier to clean being black than the stainless steel one I previously had.
I don’t like the fact it requires the v shaped filters. These cost a lot more and most suppliers don’t sell large quantity filter choices. It’s better to make a design change using the circular type filters. They are cheaper. I use these instead and hope the coffee doesn’t slip through some how. Perhaps you can make available a basket that makes use of a circular filter type?
