I’m incredibly happy with this coffee maker! My Bonsen Kitchen burr grinder coffee maker had been leaking for a while & after years of use, I researched this Cuisinart model & decided to give it a shot. I’m particularly impressed with the build quality & faultless functionality. A lot of thought has gone into the design, from the ease of use with the filter basket compartment to the grind-off feature. You can stop the grind with a press of a button if you feel it’s enough for your batch & the brew cycle just picks up form there. There’s a couple fool proof alert features if you forget to replace the filter or fill the reservoir before brewing. The seal seems tight in the bean container & the carafe hasn’t spilled during a pour once. Minimal drips on the heating plate when pouring that first cup before the brew cycle finishes & you don’t have to worry about the heating plate turning off before you’ve finished with the pot. Just enough settings to configure & intuitive to figure out how. Overall very pleased & hope to use this for years to come!

I love the ease and taste of the coffee. My criticism is that the carafe leaks from the black collar onto the counter. Also I noticed the clock had changed auto brew by an hour...turns out the clock gains two minutes over each 24 hour period. I'm hoping this is just a fluke and not a pervasive issue. I will contact customer service tomorrow so let's see how Cuisinart stands behind their products, I've always held them in a positive light. 🤞

I got mine about a year ago and ran into trouble with it but thanks to the warranty it was replaced by cuisinart. I must say the new model is much improved and still makes a great cup of coffee. Going back to an old drip non bur coffee maker made us realize how much we love this one! Great value, price and warranty you can't go wrong.

After using for about 5 days starting making weak coffee. The strength setting was the same, same beans , same amount of water. Now just making 10 cups of water with 12 cups setting on machine. We had the discontinued dgb900 with insulated carafe for years that made perfect coffee. Hate they changed it …

I replaced a different brand and went with a more economical option … mistake. The brewing basket has a tendency to overfill and then overflow, creating a mess. Even though the carafe is big enough for twelve cups you can really only brew six cups at a time. A mistake that I am stuck with.

I bought this Cuisinart on March 14, 2025 just 2 weeks ago to replace my other Cuisinart that had an electrical malfunction. I can't say that I'm happy with it..no matter what I do the coffee is weak. I prefer my older model that I could control the amount of beans and grind.
