Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Cuisinart 12-cup Programmable Thermal Coffeemaker
Customer Review: Love this coffee maker
Summary: 4 Stars
If it is possible to fall in love with a coffee maker, it has finally happened to me. It fills all my requirements. It makes 12 cups directly into a thermal pot and keeps it hot all day. It is prgrammable so that my coffe is ready in the morning when I am. The plate under the pot is sealed so that if some coffee or water gets under the pot, the electronics is not destroyed. I can't begin to tell you how many Mr. Coffee's I had that were ruined this way.
It fits all my requirements, makes perfect coffee, and I have had this one for two years and still going strong. What's not to love!
Customer Review: Same Problem w/ Overflows, But I Still Love It!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great coffeemaker! However, I have also experienced the same problem with overflows. After one exchange, we discovered the trick - DON'T GET COFFEE GROUNDS IN THE LID. If you end up with coffee grounds at the bottom of the basket that holds the filter, it can easily clog the lid, and will start to overflow. Now we just make sure to put the grounds in the filter, and then the filter in the basket - no more issues. And, it makes great coffee that stays fresh all day!Customer Review: Works Great and makes Great Coffee!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best coffee maker we've ever had. The coffee stays hot most of the day and doesn't get bitter. Everything works as described and we've had no problems at all.Customer Review: burns up in 6-12 months
Summary: 1 Stars
First off, I LOVE the coffee this machine makes, and the thermal carafe is GREAT--no burnt coffee taste you get with the burner plate models. That said, I've gone thru two of these coffee makers in 17 months and won't get another. With the first, after 6 months the pre-brew function timer stopped working. I didn't use it much, so decided to live without that. But 4 months later it stopped brewing entirely--it would "beep" it was done, but no coffee had brewed :-( It was replaced--I had option of going with another brand/model but I stayed with this one, b/c, as said, I LOVE the coffee and the thermal carafe. Now replacement, after 4 months, stopped working. But this time I was there when it went bad--was brewing a second pot of coffee and smoke started pouring out the top of the machine. It smelled like an electric fire. I turned it off, unplugged, and poured cold water in the back, just in case that would help. After that, it is dead--I tried turning it on again to see what would happen (we really wanted coffee), but it just "beeped" that it was done, with no brewing. I don't know what burnt up, but I won't risk an electric fire with another one. I'll miss the great coffee & the thermal carafe, so hope Cuisinart figures out the problem and fixes it for future models. A coffee pot at this price should last a few years at least.Customer Review: could be better
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good machine for the money and the coffee tastes good from this machine and stays hot in the carafe for about four hours. The idea of the carafe is good because the coffee stays hot and tastes better because it doesn't burn on a warmer. There are several design problems however. 1. it poors too slowly out of the carafe. 2. the filter door is tricky to open. 3. the carafe top doesn't screw on easily. 4. the "poor while you brew" feature is touchy and coffee leaks because the spring designed to stop the coffee flow seems weak. I've had the unit for about three months and the writing on the control panel is wearing off.
