This is a great coffee maker if you just need a couple cups in the morning. It brews a quick tasty cup, just enough to get you going in the AM!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great size for my kitchen. Makes excellent auto drip coffee. I used paper filters not the gold one provided, less messy.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Downsizing from a thermal Bunn. It led a long life. I drink less coffee now & I knew Cuisinart was a solid brand. And even though the carafe wasn’t thermal, at least I couldn’t break it. And it has ‘sneak a cup’ while brewing & auto shutoff. It’s called a 5 cup, I drink mugs. It solidly fills two mugs. Review say it leaks when poring. It does if you lean it against your cup. Just hold the carafe up a bit when pouring. Easy to clean…I love it!!!!

This model apparently replaces the 4 cup maker which I used for over 20 years. More is not better here. Set up to brew is more complicated with removable water canister. The filter is slightly small for a #2 filter ( which I prefer to use) . The drip stop is not effective unless brewing has finished.
That said, once quantities of water and coffee are properly proportioned, the 5 cup produces a similar cup of coffee as its predecessor. I tried the Caprese 4 cup and it just didn't have the thru-put to make the strong coffee I prefer. The "improvements" increased the counter top profile and have more moving parts to clean and maintain.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A glass craft would be nice so you know how much coffee is remaining. The hot pad seems to leave a burn mark on the bottom of the craft.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

While the coffee brewed was fine, this coffee maker does not live up to Cuisinart standards:
1) The coffee flow shut-off valve did not work most of the time (a problem we've never run into with our prior 12-cup Cuisinart coffee makers, 2) The lid over the grinds does not completely, and yet is difficult to open, 3) the reusable coffee mesh is made of plastic rather than copper (you have to separately order a copper one), 4) the On/Off switch is too easily switched on - which has happen to me a couple of times when moving the maker backward after filling the water reservoir,creating a mess, and 5) the metal carafe is made of very thin material and will easily dent. In conclusion this product does not live up to anticipated Cuisinart standards.

I love this little coffee maker, which I got to replace a very Gevalia coffee maker. I did a fair bit of research and initially tried a fancier more expensive model which didn’t live up to the hype. This Cuisinart maker is perfect for one person and great for small kitchens. With good quality beans, the result is an exceptional cup of coffee.
