Makes good coffee and happy to have a preset timer! Don't like that i have to use a different type of coffee filter... which is much more expensive. It comes with a reusable "gold" filter but i find little coffee grounds coming thru in the pot and my cup when i use it. The space to pour water in is little too and hard to pour all the water in with out it going thru the filter and onto the hot plate... makes a mess. Also, make sure you fully close the lid or it will bubble over in the filter when percolating. One last thing is i don't like the way the lid on the coffee pot works. I am used to having one that you put your thumb on it and it pops up... this one you have to take it completely off and put it back on when filling it with water. So there you are...
I've had many Cuisinart coffee makers over the past 30 years. They are the best maker out there. But this simple 12-cup model is my favorite of all. It is so easy to set up and use. Highly recommend this model and in my opinion, there is no other manufacturer you should consider.
Easy to use. Coffee is kept at the perfect temperature. Programing has lots of options but still simple to use. Programing light indicator can be seen with a glance. The Display is very clear and can read clock from across the room. Very happy with this purchase.
Our old Cuisinart coffee maker lasted forever. When we looked for a replacement, we bought essentially the same thing. We love that it didn't have a lot of bells and whistles to go wrong. Simple to operate, it makes perfect coffee every time, and doesn't take up a lot of space on our countertop. The filters , basket, and carafe are all replaceable, and they didn't discontinue parts. The white finish is perfect in our white kitchen, and is easy to keep clean. Absolutely buy this!
This is our 3rd Cuisinart and we love the features and price. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star review is that the pouring spout is not the greatest. When the pot is relatively full, if you pour too quickly, it dribbles down the front and spills. As long as you pour it VERY slowly, it is fine but it is a little inconvenient. Other than that, it is a GREAT coffee maker!
