Thermal carafe does not keep the coffee warm (forget hot) even with warming up the carafe with hot water. Smaller volumes (4-6 cups) of coffee are barely warm. Machine cuts off when it’s done brewing so it doesn’t stand a chance of staying even warm very long. Checked to see if there is a glass carafe available for this model but no luck. Would not recommend.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi, thank you for sharing your feedback on your Cuisinart coffee maker. This model does not include a heating plate, as adding one could damage the thermal carafe, and switching to a glass carafe would not change this. If your unit is not performing properly, we encourage you to contact the Cuisinart customer service team at 1-800-726-0190 for assistance.

Bought this grind and brew to replace a previous model. Love the functionality and ease of use much more on this model. Easy to set-up. Perfectly grinds the coffee beans for a delicious cup of coffee. The program function is a necessity.

Great grind, still trying to figure it out. Called customer help line because if you put 10 cups of water in the reservoir and program it for 4 cups it’s still going to make 10 cups. Help line told me I should only put the amount of water I need for each brew. It sure why it’s has a programmable cup setting if it doesn’t work.

Love it. Makes a great cup of coffee. I use paper filter, which is easy to change and clean filter holder.

Our 1st coffee maker was completely worn out. After many years of almost every day service it was time to retire the unit. All updates made to our new coffee machine are quality improvements. Hopefully we will get many more years of great brewing from this machine.

I have been using this for about a month and love it! The dry drop grounds is what sold me on this device. It replaced an older version with the flat grinder where the water ran throught the grinder and I had to clean it every day. The other reasons I got it are:
1) The machine adds the amount of beans frot the amt of cups of coffee you are making (less waste and consitent flavor).
2) My husband likes his coffee stronger than I do, so it is nice to be able to adjust the strength with the touch of a button.
