Cuisinart Chw-12 12-Cup Programmable coffee maker:Keep everyone's favorites on hand. The 12-cup capacity and a hot water system let you make multiple cups of coffee, hot cocoa, tea and more. A brew pause feature allows you to postpone the brew cycle just long enough to grab a quick cup.

Coffee Great but Hot Water Unusable
on March 5, 2015
Posted by: KeithInCali
Verified Purchase:Yes
This was a nice idea and wish more manufacturers made a dual hot water & coffee maker. The coffee side is excellent, makes excellent coffee but the problem is the hot water. There is a persistent rubber taste to the water no matter how many times you use it, flush it, clean it, etc. It is undrinkable, period. Online comments show this is a persistent problem among many users. Somehow Cuisinart used the wrong parts or cheaper materials with some supplier and they've got a bunch of bad units.
This uses a cone filter, and comes with a permanent filter. The machine is constructed well. The machine also comes with two water filters which are simply carbon packs that are inserted inside the water tanks.
Another issue is the water receptacle opening on the coffee side is smaller than most coffee pots, so there isn't much room for error when pouring in water. I wanted to love this machine but the bad hot water side forced me to return it.
