Excellent quality, great coffee!
We searched and searched for a thermal carafe coffeemaker. This one was a decent price, with a lot of features, include brew/pause, automatic shutoff, a double-walled stainless thermal carafe, and a built-in water filter. The first few pots didn't taste great, even though I ran hot water through it a couple of times before brewing that first pot. The Cuisinart makes GREAT coffee, good and hot. The carafe keeps it hot for a long time. It's a great buy for the money. I made a pot at 7:00 this morning and the coffee is still warm. We're very pleased. It also has a three year warranty. You can't beat it for the price.
Perfect For My Needs
The main reasons I was interested in this coffee maker were for the thermal properties of the carafe and the quality of coffee the machine makes. I wasn't interested in whether or not I could see the water in the reservoir or see how much coffee was left in the pot. I wanted a machine that would allow me to stop making multiple pots of coffee throughout the morning. Most of the time, I would make myself coffee early in the morning, then, make my wife a pot around 10 or 11. Our old coffee maker would burn coffee after about 45 minutes. With the Cuisinart, all I have to do is put hot water in the carafe prior to brewing, pour it out, and brew my coffee as usual. After the coffee is made, I put the stylish carafe on our coffee table or living room table, and we have coffee for the whole morning. I don't have to worry about the pot burning any of our table/counter surfaces because it's double insulated. That's the beauty of this carafe--its basically a large, stylish thermos...
Great Product!
After reading these reviews I decided I owe it to others to write my own. I have had this coffee maker for maybe two years (long enough to really put it through the trials). It's strange to me that so many complain about so little. It makes excellent coffee, keeps the coffee warm a long time, looks nice, programs easily, it's reliable and easy to clean.
Some say it doesn't stay hot long enough or get hot enough - they probably put cold water in the maker using the pot and did not follow up by warming the pot with hot water.
Some say it is too hard to read the cup lines because they are inside a dark container. I can read them without my glasses, under a dimmer lighting. However, I could use my glasses, turn on more light or use a measuring cup.
It makes excellent coffee, as strong as you choose to make it, at the time you choose and keeps it warm without burning. It tells you when to clean it. And it gets used at least once a day without breaking...
