The most difficult coffeepot to program! We couldn't get one pot of coffee. Read & followed the instructions. 2 hours later, we gave up & returned the pot. One positive thing is that it looked nice.
This is a great coffeemaker! I read the reviews before buying it - some said it was hard to program? I didn’t think so, but that’s just my opinion. It does use a cone filter or the little gold basket it comes with - of course I only had the round filters! And make sure the holder is all the way in or you get a mess! But the temp on the carafe holder is wonderful! The hot is the hottest I’ve ever had! My husband is delighted. All in all - a great purchase.
Works great, I usually make 4 cups each time which is actually 2 good cups, it has a fast brew time and makes a nice smooth cup of coffee. I use the low setting so it doesn’t burn the extra cup after I take my first cup in the morning. I do like the alarm to tell when it’s done brewing.
I finally bought my own Cuisinart coffee maker, after enjoying coffee at the home of other Cuisinart coffee maker owners for years. How happy I am that I did! The coffee is even more delicious to me because I can brew it myself, any time I want to, exactly how I like it. Thanks Cuisinart!!
