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

I don't have a white one but it still makes coffee. I have a black one, so it makes black coffee. You have to add cream for white coffee. It is best to add the cream after it brews. Same with sugar. The gold filter leaves a horrible residue. Paper filters are much, much better. Aluminum filters are also bad. The warmer is a hotter, keeping your brewed coffee hotter than when it brewed - usually called Navy coffee. They do not make extra carafes for this model so be careful not to pour cold water on the hot carafe for your cold brew. Works best when plugged in, otherwise a very long brew time. Better overall brew because of the shower head water spray over the grounds instead of single spout drip which takes longer to wake up the shredded beans. Not self-cleaning, so do not brew without water. The 1-4 cup control actually works only if you use 1-4 cups of water and the same amount of scooped grounds. Be careful to properly seat the filter assembly or you will be cleaning up very hot coffee and grounds from whatever it sits on. So f you don't properly seat the filter assembly, it would be better to put the machine in a deep sink for ease of cleanup. Get a black ont - the coffee turns out better.

My coffee maker brews delicious coffee. And I like the smaller 1-4 cup brewing option. The only complaint I have is that the coffee decanter handle is open on the bottom. You cannot wash it in the dishwasher as the handle will just fill up with water. I called customer service about it and the representative said that was normal. That the handle was not closed at the bottom. I feel this is a poor design. The handle should be closed.

The light is so bright and super annoying and so is the beep it makes when it’s done and shutting off. I got light cover stickers to solve the light problem but the beeping is not needed. It’s loud and just annoying! Also the area to pour in water is super small so it spills all over. Overall great coffee maker though with making coffee!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love my Cuisinart 12-cup coffee maker despite no improvement made to accessing water reservoir for filling. Easy to program and makes good coffee.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Meh, its a coffee machine. I didn't' want a lot of bells and whistles, apps, and fancy things. I wanted a 10 cup, but the smallest is a 12 cup. It seems like companies like this are making things cheaper and cheaper... more breakable plastic parts -- replacing or repairing isn't an option anymore. Throwing them away or getting rid of the electronics is my responsibility and not the company's -- they just make them cheaper and breakable on purpose so I have to buy new. Well guess what.... I'm probably going to quit coffee just because your cheap products are destroying the earth. Make stuff that lasts a long time.

Makes good coffee but after every cycle makes loud unpleasant sound to tell you that your coffee is ready with no way to shut it off. For someone it could be useful future but if you enjoy quite mornings you won’t get one .
I would recommend this to a friend!

After my last carafe of more than 5 years unexpectedly broke, I bought this one. No issues. Glad I was able to buy the carafe and not a whole new coffee pot.
I would recommend this to a friend!
