Customer Reviews for Cuisinart - 5-Cup Coffeemaker w SS Carafe - Black

I gave this review five stars because my Cuisinart excels on rvery point. I’m 80 years old lady and I don’t need anything that causes me problems. I’m picky.
My Cuisinart fits nicely on my counter top and was reasonably priced. I noticed one reviewer mentioned the lip on the carafe caused him to dribble while pouring. I’ve not had this problem.
Perhaps he poured too quickly.
My Cuisinart is easy to use, making my coffee in seven minutes, and cleanup is quick. Because the Carafe is stainless steel, I don’t worry about it breaking and because of Cuisinarts unique filtering system, i can use water straight from the tap—it filters for me. I find there is no need for additional paper filters. I like strong coffee, but I do not like a bitter taste The Cuisinarts carafe filters perfectly so that I get a Consistently smooth cup of coffee every morning. I highly recommend Cuisinart 5 cup coffee maker with stainless steel carafe!

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!!!!
I would 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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Pretty cute look, but awful design, both lids are not secure in place, and the one for the water reservoir is super loose. The only nice thing about it, is that it has a water filter, but not even that makes it a keeper, the coffee is not warm enough, and once I add the cold almond milk it is like a latte, my plan was to return it, but my partner threw the box away

After owning the Cuisinart 4 cup for probably 8 yrs it began leaking from underneath. My daughter has the newer version of the 4 cup purchased this past year and it, too, brews delicious coffee. The 5 cup made the worst coffee ever. No matter how I adjusted the grinds, the coffee tasted flat and weak. Sadly, I returned it. I miss my 4 cup but it's discontinued.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It’s fine. It does what I bought it for. I really have nothing else to say. I can blather on about your product but what’s the point? It doesn’t perform miracles. I turn to aGod for that. The machine I bought makes coffee using water and ground coffee beans. The grounds are contained in a paper filter. The heated water drains through the ground coffee and produces the coffee I drink.

If you fill the pot to the internal level of 3 cups, you get 2 cups.
