Customer Response

Disappointing product
I bought this product two years ago; at first I was satisfied with its performance, but during the past year I have encountered the same problem other reviewers have mentioned: when pouring the coffee after brewing, steady leakage occurs from the carafe. This causes a puddle of coffee on the countertop (and less coffee in your cup). It's now so bad that I have to pour the coffee into the cup over my sink, to catch the leakage. This is very disappointing, considering Cuisinart's reputation. I love my Cuisinart food processor (I've had the same model for almost twenty years), but cannot recommend this coffeemaker, which I am replacing ASAP.

good little coffee maker
I have had this coffee maker for a couple of years. It works great except the pot leaks where the plastic meets the stainless steel and drips on the counter when I pour. This started when I first purchased it. Other than that it is a good coffee pot and suits my needs.

Drippy
This coffee maker brews a fine cup but is extremely frustrating to use. The carafe dips when pouring and half the water (when filling the maker) or coffee end up missing the target. I really don't have time for this sort of annoyance first thing in the morning.

How hard is it to design a carafe that actually pour properly?

coffeemaker
I love this coffeemaker! I love it so much that I have two of these, one for work and one for my home. It make delicious coffee really fast. Its easy to clean. I can't say enough good things about it. I would definitely repurchase this item.

Doesn't Pour!
I've had this coffeemaker for a couple of years and have spent the whole time looking for another carafe. The one that comes with this machine doesn't pour without dribbling water or coffee everywhere. So every time I fill the reservoir or pour coffee, I end up with liquid all over the counter. I've tried every trick I can think of (pour slowly, pour quickly, pour slowly and first and then faster, etc.), but nothing works. Making the pouring lip deep and wide enough to pour cleanly seems like such a basic of coffee pot design that I can't quite figure out how the Cuisinart designers got this one so badly wrong. But since I can't find a different carafe to fit this machine, I'm finally giving up and buying another coffeemaker. Too bad, because this one is cute and makes decent coffee.
