So far, great!
I've been using this coffee maker for 3 weeks now.... It's great! This is my first coffee maker....

After reading the reviews online (for this product and all of the other coffee makers) I was frankly terrified to buy a coffee maker. It seemed that every product had a different problem. I decided to cut my losses and buy a cheap 4cup Mr. Coffee coffee maker. I was about to purchase it, when I realized that between the coffee maker, the filter, and shipping (which wasn't included since the coffee maker and filters were coming from 2 different sellers) the total cost was the same as this Cuisinart (which came with a reusable filter and has a 3 year warranty!). I figured it would be a better investment to buy the Cuisinart because even if I did have problems, I was guaranteed a coffee maker for the next 3 years :)

Like I said, this was my first coffee maker, so I read the instructions. I know some people commented on it being complicated, but honestly the instructions were really clear. I've been programming it to make coffee when I wake up in the morning for 3 weeks without any problem. I usually make less than 4 cups, so I just click the 1-4 cups function and it brews a great cup of coffee! I'm not sure exactly how long it takes to make the 4 cups (cuz I normally just program it to brew 15-30min before I want to drink it)... but I think it's a little less than 5 min. It automatically shuts off after 2 hours, but I changed it to 1 hour since I rarely stick around longer in the morning (it's really easy to change the shutoff time, again just read the tiny paragraph in the instructions)...If I can do this, anyone can :)

Finally, the coffee tastes great and I haven't had any problems. No leaking during brewing or pouring of coffee. When filling the coffee maker with water I simply rest the lip of the carafe on the machine and pour... no problems. There are markings on the carafe and the coffee maker to measure water levels (They don't seem to be exactly the same volumes -- at least not for <4cups -- so I just use the markings on the machine). The only complaint that seems valid, is that it's quite tall; at first I was pulling it out from under the cabinets to fill, but I just moved it to a counter top without a cabinet over it. But I don't think this is a big deal... Lastly, the carafe and filter (I'm not sure about the reusable filter) are dishwasher safe (top shelf).... I hope this helps people!

PROs:
1) Good investment when you consider shipping, filters and 3year warranty
2) Great coffee -- great 1-4 cup function
3) Easy to program
4) Dishwasher safe carafe and filter
5) No problems so far!

CONs:
1) Tall -- could be a problem if you have low cabinets

Love my Cuisinart!!
I researched and researched and finally got the Cuisinart DCC-1100. I love this coffee maker. We do use paper filters as the basket is too messy for my crazy morning schedule. The only con for me is the loud beep when the coffee is finished. I wish I could either turn it down or off since I have to leave the house before the kids wake up, although they have gotten used to the noise and don't even wake up anymore. :)

Shipping
I was charged $30.00 (29.95) for overnight shipping, the cost of the product was $59.00. Product did not arrive overnight~still do not have product.

great coffee maker
I bought the Cuisinart DCFC-1100 coffee maker and love it. After going thru alot of $25. coffee makers I decided to buy a nice one. You get what you pay for is true. This coffee maker keeps your coffee HOT long after you have brewed it. Well worth the money.

Bitter Coffee, Design Flaws
I had a Braun for almost 20 years...yes, twenty years. And it finally died, much to my dismay. So I spent a long time online reading reviews of coffeemakers, reading Consumer Reports, going to stores and looking at different models, etc. Good coffee is important. During this crisis period, we used our French Press, a completely different beast than the ol' drip. After researching, I finally decided upon the Cuisinart DCC 1100 and this morning, after letting it go through a hot water cycle, we had fresh drip coffee! Okay...here's the review. It tasted terribly bitter and metallic, so I made a smaller pot and used a paper filter instead of the gold filter. The coffee was our Peets Arabian Mocha Java that I grind for drip. The Cuisinart's 2nd pot was terrible-tasting as well. Other details: difficult to pour water all the way into the small opening as the flip top doesn't go back far enough. You can get most of the water but not all. And because the water and filter are all in the same area, steam gets everywhere and you have a dripping plastic housing. I would NOT buy this style again and am sadly disappointed. As mentioned, good coffee is important.
