The removable water reservoir is a nice feature. Adding water is easy. The brew cycle is fast and the hot plate keeps the coffee hot. This coffee maker replaced the 4 cup coffee maker I had. Great for when you do not need to make a full pot of coffee (12 cups).
I would recommend this to a friend!

5-Cup Coffee Maker with stainless steel Carafe

I'm very please with this coffee maker. The coffee tastes great and is very hot at completion of brewing, which is the way I like it. With a stainless steel carafe there is no worry about breakage.

Just moved into an apartment with a smaller kitchen. This coffee maker fits perfectly, it’s small but packs a punch! The stainless steel design is sure to fit in with any kitchen decor. The coffee comes out really hot too. Perfect for smaller places.

I had the old model for years, you made all the changes that i would have recommended. I had the 4 cup and couldnt see the water, so i always over filled and the wster would be on the counter. The removeable water chamber i love,no mess. i like the permanent filter comes with, i normally brought one. The blinking light lets me know when it is done. I also really like the filter too. They kept all the features of the old style that i like.

Pleasantly surprised at this small coffee maker. Perfect size, as I drink only 2 cups a day. Coffee taste is really smooth. Just be careful not to touch the hot carafe.

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.

5-Cup Coffee Maker with Stainless Steel Carafe

The cheapest made Cuisinart coffee pot I have ever owned!
The water lit is not attached and easily falls into water tank. Lid to put coffee & filter in needs to be held by coffee machine to open.
My previous 4 cup Cuisinart was sturdy and designed well.
I will never buy another Cuisinart coffee maker!

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.
