What's great about it: Great features
What's not so great: Electronics died quickly
"Was very disappointed in this machine. Some great features, but unfortunately the display went out and I was unable to use just out of warranty. I would never buy another Cuisinart product again."

What's great about it: Cool Design
What's not so great: Bad Quality Control in Manufacturing
"I liked the design of this coffee pot, however; it was a bit too short to place a standard "to go" style mug underneath. The problem came after 1 1/2 years when it decided to quit on me, looks like this is a common problem. I'd avoid this one.
Recently purchased a Mr. Coffee to replace it (9175082) and have been generally happy with it, although there are some negative reviews for that one as well."

What's great about it: Keeps coffee hot
What's not so great: breaks every few months
"Stopped working after just 9 months. Returned to Cuisinart for free replacement. Replacement broke after 4 months. Cuisinart refused to replace this one because total lapsed time was over one year. I am done with Cuisinart."

What's great about it: Nothing...
What's not so great: Everything
"Stay away from this coffee pot!! This is the third one I have had and this one just stopped working. It last a few months and then it will not turn on. Customer service at Cuisinart are very rude and have no supposed record of any other complaints. Take a look on the internet there are plenty of people complaining about the same thing.
I will never buy another Cuisinart item again!!"

What's great about it: The Looks are really cool
What's not so great: Short Life, Filling the coffee maker is a nightmare, Forget travel mugs
"I purchased the coffee maker only a couple a months ago and now it doesn't work at all. I just emailed the company to see if anything can be done.
If nothing can be done I'll be forced to throw it into the trash."

Good coffee - short lifespan
07/04/2009

What's great about it: Very good coffee, looks great, nice concept
What's not so great: Died after 6 months, filling with water a little challenging and it leaks
"I purchased this coffee maker in January and it stopped working in June. The problem is electrical. When it was working, the coffee was excellent. However, there was a constant puddle of water underneath it which required moving the filled coffee maker after brewing to dry the counter. Putting water in required a good aim with the pitcher because the reservoir has a small opening - not always easy first thing in the morning.
This coffeemaker has a 3 yr warranty. Upon contacting customer service, I was told the Cuisinart does not repair coffeemakers. But, because I live in California, I could take it back to any retailer that sells Cuisinart for a refund."

What's great about it: Cup by cup pouring
What's not so great: Short life span
"For our wedding, we were given four small appliances by Cuisinart. Two of them have broken in less than two years (a wine cellar and now this coffee pot) and one just doesn't work very well (a blender). This coffee pot is a neat idea and looks great on the counter. When we first had it, we loved it. Coffee tasted great, was kept hot but not burned, and the pour-by-cup feature was a neat gimmick. Within a year, the quality of the coffee had started to go downhill and the coffee wasn't kept as hot -- frequently having to be put in the microwave if it was poured more than 45 minutes after brewing. A month ago, it started to need to be plugged into different outlets before it would work and now it's completely dead. Add to this a wine cellar that stopped working within 6 months and a blender that creates a bubble at the bottom so nothing gets blended, and we will never buy another Cuisinart product again."

Not sure about this pot
06/10/2009
By MsPalm

What's great about it: Single Cup Dispensing
What's not so great: Power just goes out
"I got this coffee pot from my sister-in-law cause she got a new Kruig.
When I brought it home and cleaned it up, wanted to test it I was having problems with the power first it was on than off, well I thought it was my wall plug. Now after reading the reviews I know I am not going bonkers. I am in the market for a new coffee pot so this was a nice hand me down, but now it has done this several times so now I realize this is the product not me. So I guess I will shop for my new pot. I did not find the filling a problem cause I have always filled my coffee pots by moving them and using my sink sprayer. So thanks to all for the heads up on this brand, sticking to my stand buyes Krups or Braun they last many years and make great coffee ."

What's great about it: looks
What's not so great: When putting water in it.The water runs down the side of the coffee holder.
"Don't buy this. It looks good but when you go to poor the water in. The water runs down the side of the reservoir and all over what you have it setting on."

Horrible...save yourself the time.

What's great about it: Keeps coffee hot for a great while
What's not so great: Clean up is difficult, horrible quality, too expensive for what it does!
"I wish I had read these reviews before I bought this machine. I was drawn to its commodity and the style of being modern, sleek, and quite appealing to say the least. It started up like a pro and I thought I had bought a winner. One morning not too long ago, I got up and noticed that no coffee was in the reservoir even though it had been programmed to every morning at the same time. I turned it back on...nothing! I unplugged it thinking that a connection had just shorted...still nothing. Somehow it started working later that day out of the clear blue. I thought it was weird but I let it go. It made coffee for two weeks and then the same thing happened again. This time the same fix did not work. Save yourself the time and heartache of having to lug it back to the store and exchange it if you have the extended warranty on it. Buy yourself another machine that is less of a commodity and more of a pillar...stay with the tried-and-true...Cuisinart makes great machines, but this is not one of them! There is no need to purchase this machine unless you have a ton of money that you just love to throw away."

Great Coffee, Unreliable Machine
02/03/2009
By Marksgirl5
from Waretown. NJ

What's great about it: It makes a great cup of coffee that stays hot for a very long time, at least 4 to 5 hours. Easy to use and clean.
What's not so great: We, just like most of the other reviewers, went thru 2 in less than 2 years. I thought it was us, now I know it wasn't
"After reading the other negative reviews I started to wonder if it is possible that the problem with this machine is the amount of time you use it? We are very big coffee drinkers. We make at least 2 full pots on a weekday and about 4 on weekend days.
Is that the coffee habits of other people who's machines broke within a year? That is the only thing I can think of as the reason some people have machines that work fine forever and the majority of us have machines, not one, but two, that break within a year.
So my advice is if you are a big coffee drinker stay away. Although the pot makes great coffee, it is not worth the aggravation of the Saturday morning when your waiting for that first cup, the kids are fighting, the dog is barking, your husband can't find his sweat pants and because your a woman your supposed to know where he left them, your mother is on the phone telling you how wonderful your sibling is in "that" voice, and when you put your cup in the coffee pot there is NOTHING. AHHH!!!
After a few of those Saturday mornings and a quick drive thru tthe Dunkin Donuts in you jammies you to will have had it. So trust me, save yourself now."

TERRIBLE QUALITY !
12/15/2008
By sherry1234

What's great about it: keeps coffee very warm
What's not so great: It breaks down within the first year of usage
"We bought this coffee maker and were very pleased that it keeps the coffee very warm.
About 8 month of our purchase, the "on/off" button stopped working, so sometimes we were able to have coffee, sometimes we weren't.
We thought we did something to it, so we bought another one, after about 10 month, the new one stop brewing AGAIN.
We are NOT going back to get a third one. We gave this product two chances and both times it broke down on us.
Don't get this coffee maker if you don't want to buy another one after about one year; it breaks down easily. VERY POOR QUALITY."

What's great about it: One cup of coffe at a time no burning
What's not so great: Stopped Working
"I had the same problem as others. I am very disappointed. At first it was great and then it went crazy. One day it worked just fine then I went to make another pot and it didn't work. Then it was fine for a couple weeks and it did it again. And when calling the manufacturer them said I must be doing something wrong. HOW!!!!!! You fill it and turn it on."

A lemon

By Adrock111

What's great about it: It's awesome...until it stops working
What's not so great: It stops working
"Same problems as many of the others have had. Think of it like a totally hot babe (or dude) who turns out to be a little too unstable. I had a great year or two with it, but then it sort of went nuts--randomly stopped working, then worked fine for a while, then randomly stopped working again, etc. So it's hard to say whether it's worth it or not. Just like dating a hot/crazy chick, it's a personal choice as to whether or not the hot outweighs the crazy. After all, I'm glad I had this awesome coffeemaker for a while, but I probably wouldn't do it again."

Not worth the money

What's great about it: Good coffee for a couple of years
What's not so great: Quit working after only 2 years
"This coffee pot is hard to clean and it does not last long enough for the money.
When it was new it was fine even though it is very hard to clean, like another person said it would work sometimes and not others. Could not understand what was going on with it. Very frustrating!
Would not recommend this to anyone"

Excellent performer

What's great about it: great coffee, keeps it hot, stays fresh
What's not so great: dispenser needs to be taller
"We bought this as a replacement for our 10 year old Starbucks machine.
A great surprise, brews an excellent cup of coffee even after 4 hours. We caught on to the controls easily. The paper filters fit well, filling with water is a cinch and no carafe to be concerned with.
Water fill is hard to read, but its not a big issue. There are special controls for brewing 1-4 cups, very clearly indentified; I think some of the reviewers failed to read the instructions, because we have never had any of the problems that are stated by others.
Filling a tall mug is a challenge, however by removing the bottom tray you gain an inch and our tall travel mugs fit fine. The designers need to add about an inch to the fill area. (Our only complaint).
We bought our machine online for about $60.00 with free shipping."

What's great about it: never have to see a stained carafe
What's not so great: the reservior is plastic; having the coffee sit in it too long will eventually taste like it
"I initially like this product. I fill up my 10 oz paper coffee cup, and out the door I go to work. The set up is a breeze; but just yesterday morning when the coffee was sitting for 2 hours before I had my first cup, it tasted like plastic. And now that I've read the reviews from other consumers, I will also be on the lookout for my coffee maker's random days of operation!"

Coffee Maker No Good
02/19/2008
By Dawnnikol
from North Las Vegas, NV
|
What's great about it: You don't need to purchase paper filters
What's not so great: Long time use kills it
"The idea behind this coffee maker is great - keep coffee warm for longer than a "normal" pot in its carafe.
The downsides are:
1 - you can not fit anything but a "normal" size coffee cup under the pour spout. ie: travel mugs You have to pour the coffee into a "normal" coffee cup and then put it into the travel mug or thermos to take with you.
2 - after long term use, it stops working randomly. We can get it to turn on for a few days in a row and then it stops working altogether, only to start working again the next day. It's crazy!
I definitely will do more research prior to purchasing my next coffee pot - this was a complete disappointment."
