Cuisinart - 12-Cup Coffee Maker - Black/Stainless Steel

I did leave a previously glowing review, which I am not able to edit. I was in love with this coffee maker.....until the love turned into gobs of black plastic coming off the inside of the holding tank...right into my coffee cup. I can see where the layer of plastic has come off from all around the inside. It's absolutely not layers of built up coffee. It's shiny black plastic. I'm pretty sure we've injested a bunch of that plastic without realizing it. How horrible is that! I did read another review saying it happened to their Cuisinart too. So it's not just mine! Beware! Do not buy it!

Excellent. So easy to brew. No carafe to clean. Such a great idea for a coffee maker. My kids love the gauge. Looks great on the coffee bar too.

I read many reviews, tried to understand why I would spend $100 on a coffee maker. I was wondering where all the $20 Mr. Coffee's went. Then I realized, I'm getting old. I hate cleaning a glass carafe, the inevitable leak from the silicone hoses they used. The lime build up you didn't know about until it was taking an hour to brew. The features on this one really impressed me. It's not a complex thing at all. Fully programmable without going to MIT, easy to fill side reservoir & comes with a gold tone filter for lazy me! Better yet, the carafe is internal, a plastic, like a thermos, all you need is a cup! Plus the LED that lights up when filling was a nice surprise. Flavor is as good as anywhere one would pay $5 a cup & a full 12 cups brews in just under 12 minutes. I like the adjustable shut off time default at 2 hours but I can set it longer if I want the coffee to stay hot longer than 3 hours. So after this recent purchase, we've brewed 1000? cups of coffee or close to it. The charcoal filter is still fine, the "clean" light hasn't come on, not a single glitch. That's why I spent $100 on a coffee maker & it was a steal at that price now that I've experienced this machine. I got the last one on the shelf. Wasn't on display, just saw it online & found a lonely one there in the back. Everyone was buying the super expensive ones & missed out on the best cup after cup of coffee for cheap. Did I mention it takes about 5 minutes to take it apart & clean it? Very easy & I only take the whole thing apart for that once a week. 3 year warranty as well, you can't beat this machine! Some say a larger cup won't fit under. Some will by simply removing the drip tray to fill your cup.

I love this Cuisinart coffee maker! You don't need a carafe, just push the button & fill your cup. It makes 12 cups of coffee and holds them. No mess, no carafe to clean!

We stayed in a hotel that had this coffee maker. We liked it so much I went and bought one the next week. It was awesome that we could try before buy. It also helps that our current Bun bit the big one after 20 years. I love that there is no coffee pot and you can make 1 cup or up to 12. I usually make 10 and that's enough for hubby and I, but if he isn't around I can make 1/2 that and it still tastes great! I never could quite make a good half pot with the Bunn.

Love this coffee pot. Convenient dispensing and really good coffee.

This my second Cuisinart 12 C Coffee Maker. My previous one was purchased in 1994 and has lasted all this time. I really love this Coffee Maker. I love to set it to have coffee ready in the morning before going to work. On weekends I turn it on whenever. I brews fast, delicious and just the right temperature even after adding creamer. I have not one thing negative to say about this product. Enjoy!

The user of this product is a stroke patient. He finds it easy to use. Likes the light that illuminates the cup when filling. The fact that it doesn't require him to pour from a carafe makes filling up a cup of coffee much easier and safer for him to do.
