Great coffee maker. It is small so fits my limited counterspace.

An affordable well built 5 cup coffee maker that brews very well. Our 4 cup model lasted almost 10 years and we're very happy with this new model. It pours the coffee smoothly, it easy to fill and clean. Highly recommended.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is sold as a 5 cup coffee maker. If I filled it to 5 cup capacity, I would be able to fill 5 VERY SMALL cups. I have one mug of coffee in the morning but must fill the water container to 2+ cups to fill my mug (which is not particularly large).

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

I have had multiple 5 cup coffeemakers over the past 15 years ...NONE lasted over a year due to breaking a glass carafe or the hotplate stopped working or coffee began to taste different..I have a great French press carafe but its a pain going thru the 15" making
This is great...SS carafe holds coffee hotter.5" total from grinding beans using filtered water and taking first sip!

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.

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.

We needed a second coffee pot and I got this one. It has been great. It makes really flavorful coffee. I think the charcoal filters really improve the pureness of the coffee taste. I also use brown paper filters and grind the beans. Five cups is a nice size, not too big or too small. Now, I look forward to my morning cup of coffee every day.
