This is a nice compact coffee maker. As I am drinking a little less coffee now, I wanted to replace my large 12 cup thermal Cuisinart coffee maker which I have enjoyed for the last few years. I like the size the smaller maker, its ease of use and its speed in brewing. I do believe that the thermal pot is much thinner and does not hold the heat as well as my older, larger version. Overall, happy with the product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This coffee maker was a gift. It is easy to fill with water and easy to use with paper filters. The coffee grounds do not overflow or spill onto parts of the coffee maker when it is brewing. I do wish the heating pad would stay on longer than a half hour because I don’t drink both cups of coffee I made right away and the coffee would stay warmer in the pot longer. It works very well and was a wise purchase.

I’ve owned several full size cuisanarts and quality was always outstanding. I bought this based on my experiences. It’s a great coffee maker in every way but one. The caraffe, although metal, is lacking. It’s not lined or insulated and it has this lip inside that prevents all the the liquid from draining out. It’s just not typical of thier great caraffes.

It’s quick and easy to clean. Unfortunately the coffee doesn’t stay hot if you let it sit on the burner. Plus the cover of the coffee pot has coffee on the top so it leaks when you pour.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It’s my choice vs a Keurig. My Cuisinart 5 cup a far better choice. It is much more reasonably priced and efficient than the grossly overpriced Keurig. The quality of the brewed coffee from my Cuisinart superior. 👍

This is a very good 5-cup coffee maker with some improvements made over the previous model. The only defect I have found is with the lid of the reservoir: it is unstable and easily falls into the bottom of the reservoir. It would be good if the lid is made to be held to the reservoir.

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!
