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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Purchased to replace the 4 cup. The coffee is hotter, but I am still trying to find the correct ratio of water to coffee to match the taste from the 4 cup machine. The lid to fill the water is not attached, and while I have not dropped it in the water tank yet, I would have preferred it to be attached. The carafe is thinner than the 4 cup-seems cheaper. Overall, I still prefer the 4 cup maker and I wish it was not discontinued. I was hoping to be "wowed" by the upgrade-not the case.

I’m so pleased with decision to replace my Mr Coffee coffee maker. Yes Mr Coffee was working but after reading reviews about the Cuisinart I wanted to see if the coffee really did taste better! IT DOES…coffee isn’t bitter or upsets my stomach. Perhaps because of filters? At any rate I’m very pleased with my purchase!

The coffee maker is of good general construction. It has worked well for the few weeks that we have had it. It is perfect for about 2-3 regular cups of coffee.
It has a steel mesh coffee grounds holder or it uses # 2 size coffee filters. We use the paper coffee filters.
It is easy to clean and makes good coffee. Frankly, it makes much better coffee than any of the inexpensive glass carafe coffee makers we have had.
The only negative aspect for us is that we were looking for a thermos-type pot to keep the brewed coffee warm. This pot is just a thin metal and not a thermos.

This is an outstanding coffee maker. We have bought 4-5 units of this and it's prior models over this last 20 years. They last long, hot coffee and you make small improvements to make them a little better.

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!

Very disappointed in this. It is very cheaply made. I have been buying Cuisinart appliances for many years, and this is the first one I am not happy with it. The water filter floats to the top when it is filled. I just do not feel this product stands up to the quality I am used to with this brand
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
