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

I can't say I'm thrilled with this coffee maker. It seems cheaply made, and the lid of the water tank is designed so that it often falls into the water tank chamber when I go to fill it.

A small coffee maker that makes excellent coffee!

This 5-cup coffeemaker is vastly improved over my older Cuisinart 5-cup model which died after 18 years of frequent use. The new, clear water reservoir removes for filling and has a built-in water filter. The inclusion of a nylon filter obviates the need for paper filters. The stainless-steel carafe has a new shape that makes it much easier to pour the brewed coffee without spills or drips. I use this coffeemaker when traveling, and it is compact and easy to set up in a hotel room and makes much better and more coffee than those 1-cup machines you often find in hotels that use K-cups or other coffee pods. The heated plate on the base does keep the coffee hot to the last drop. As one of us prefers coffee over tea, I will run the coffeemaker without coffee, then pour the very hot water over tea bags in the stainless-steel carafe from my old coffeemaker. Then, while the tea brews, I make the coffee.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Absolutely the best coffeemaker EVER!

I have had this coffee maker for several months and it is by far the <very best>, and easiest to use, that I’ve had in decades. The unusual, space-saving shape caught my eye, as well as the stainless steel carafe. I’ve broken too many glass carafes in my day! The water reservoir is clearly and boldy marked for the cups. It is easily removed by just lifting it up. I usually take it over to the sink to fill it, or use the carafe. The coffee comes out piping hot at about 180 degrees, far hotter than any past coffee makers. I can pull out the carafe before the coffee is done, with the brew/pause feature to pour my first cup without coffee dripping all over the warming platform. The platform still looks like new, too! The coffee is brewed so fast, that not having a clock or programmable feature is no big deal. And to start it, the on/off brightly-lighted switch is sensitive and easy to push with one finger without holding onto the coffeepot to keep it still. It stays on for about 30 minutes only, so there is no smell of stale coffee lingering like other coffeemakers that stay on for two hours after brewing is done. The stainless steel carafe is easy to clean with just a soft sponge and detergent once in a while. Usually, just a rinse-out is needed. I put it in the dishwasher with no worries whatsoever that any part of it will break. The lids of the water carafe and water reservoir are simply designed with no snapping parts to break. I fit brown cone coffee filters inside the 2-part filter that is already provided, just to avoid rinsing out messy coffee grounds. There is a nifty little charoal filter that comes with it, but we have very good water that has no odor or bad taste, so I have not used the charcoal filter - but I might if conditions with our city water ever change. I love this coffee maker, and not just because I am partial to all Cuisinart products!

Love that the water reservoir can be detached from the unit - no more spilling while refilling! Also like the addition of the carbon filter, and the increased capacity.

Excellent coffee maker. Doesn’t require the paper filters; a plus. I use filtered water so no need for the pricey charcoal filter; a plus. Very hot, but not too hot. Only issue is the auto shut off. It’s too short. Should be at least 1 hour and up to 2 hours. Make it customizable by the customer???

Convenient and easy to use. This is our new travel coffee maker because we are not convinced hotel coffee makers are clean and the coffee is typically lousy. This is a great machine but would be better with a timer.

I am the only one that drinks coffee in our house. I usually have two mugs in the morning. This pot is perfect for me. It brings a good pot of coffee. The permanent filter works well but I do use paper ones now for easy cleanup. I like this better than my Keurig. I do grind my own coffee. This pot looks nice on the counter and doesn’t take up a lot of space.

This is my second Cuisinart Coffee Maker. My first was 4 cup, this one is a 5 cup. This one is an improved model. It has a water filter and the carafe has been improved. The improved carafe does not spill coffee when you pour from it. My first coffee maker did not have a water filter and coffee spilled when pouring from the carafe. My new model also makes hotter coffee than my old model. I am very pleased with my purchase.
