Review

My previous coffeemaker was a Krups that we had for about 3 years. It was hard to program; the carafe was difficult to pour from unless poured really slowly; and the coffee was never the best tasting (sort of weak even at the strong setting).

Our new Cuisinart is easy to program. It brews a great cup of coffee and keeps it hot for long periods of time without the coffee getting bitter tasting. The coffeemaker has it’s own water filter in the water reservoir that adds a level of filtration. The carafe is easy to use and doesn’t drip down the sides no matter how fast or slow you may pour.

The only thing I don’t care for is that the filter basket is not in it’s own compartment, it is in with the water reservoir. I would prefer that it be separate. I haven’t tried the self cleaning feature, but it looks fairly easy to do.

I like the black and stainless steel outside of the unit. It is easy to clean and looks nice on my counter.

Overall, I feel I made a great purchase and look forward to many years of service from this appliance.

    Specifications

    Strikingly retro in brushed stainless-steel with black-plastic accents, this 12-cup coffeemaker includes Cuisinart’s best brewing technology and premium features for ease and flexibility. The digital clock/timer is programmable for automatically brewing “wake-up” coffee at a selected time and for turning off the warming plate up to four hours in advance. Removing the glass carafe from the warming plate automatically pauses the brewing process for a quick pour, and the warming plate’s temperature can be adjusted. For maximum flavor, the machine can be set to brew one to four 5-ounce cups or five to twelve cups, and it includes a charcoal water filter. For convenience, a permanent Gold Tone filter eliminates messy paper filters and an indicator-light shows when decalcification is needed. The coffeemaker measures 14-1/4 inches high, 8 inches wide, and 10-3/4 inches deep (including carafe handle) and carries a three-year warranty against defects. –Fred Brack
