"Quit working within a year" 2009-08-20

This is an easy review. Always water on counter top. Lots of condensation. Now the electronics went out. I'm now using my 30 year old Coleman camping coffee pot.

"Terrible Quality!" 2009-08-19
By Stallings (North Carolina)
I have owned this coffemaker for 15 months and I am finally going to be forced to replace it. The only positive aspect I can think of about this machine is that you don't have to wash a pot. That's it.

My biggest issue with this coffeemaker is that it leaks. It used to only happen occasionally, filling up the "catch tray" and sometimes overflowing a little onto the counter. However, this morning I woke up to coffee all over my kitchen floor. As it brewed, it dripped right out of the dispenser, filled the "catch tray", and ran down my counter into the floor. Given that I have only had it a little over a year and it cost $100, I think this is a very poor construction on Cuisinart's part. I am not someone who minds paying a higher price for quality but I do expect the quality to be there. I had my last $30 Mr. Coffee for at least 5 years and it was still working just fine when I decided to "upgrade" to this model.

My other pet peeve about this machine is that I have, more than once, brewed fresh coffee only to realize I had forgotten to drain the old coffee from the previous day. I realize that this is my own fault, but maybe next time they could make the gauge a little easier to notice. When you are busy and trying to do many things at once, having to worry about sour coffee is silly. My next choice will be back to the tried and true coffeemaker with the pot.

"A Waste of $$$" 2009-08-18
By SweetSusie (Waretown, NJ USA)
I bought this coffee maker (I've owned it for 1-1/2 years) because of the convenience of no carafe, but this morning I discovered the downside. I woke up to coffee pouring out of the reservoir, all over the counter, down the side of the cabinets, and under the stove...it was everywhere. What a cleanup job...not fun at 5:00AM!! It's on its way to the dumpster as I type this.

Does ANYONE make a coffee maker that lasts more than a year or two?

"Great coffee, good looks & 2 minor irritations" 2009-08-16
By Me, myself and I (Massachusetts)
I have owned this coffee maker since around Christmas 2008. It has been great! I have have had no problems with it (as reported in other reviews). - It has not broken, stopped brewing or had the condensation problems. (I bought mine in a store verses through the mail, so this may have been a factor?) The coffee is the best I have had from a home coffee maker. I really have never liked (or drank) the coffee I made at home until I bought this coffee maker. It brews quickly, is quiet, it lets me know when the coffee is done, and ultimately does what it supposed to do, brew one great cup of coffee.

I did have to get used to finding a way to put the water into it. I solved this by using the carafe from my old coffee maker. And, my other annoyance is that my travel mug does not fit in it. I have to keep a mug handy to fill the travel mug. But, I got used to this quickly. I can work around these things, and they do not bother me anymore.

I now love it! And, I get compliments on what great coffee I have made. I highly recommend this coffee maker and would buy it again!

"No fuss, no messy carafe!" 2009-08-13
By L. White (Portland, OR USA)
I have had this coffee maker for about 6 months. I love that there is no carafe and I can put all the parts which get dirty straight into the dishwasher. There are two things that I don't love about this maker, but I have found ways around them--definitely not deal-breakers! The first thing is that it is difficult to fill the coffee maker with water without spilling everywhere. I ended up putting it close enough to my sink, so all I have to do is scoot it over, fill it with the sink sprayer, and that's that. The other thing I don't love is that it's not tall enough to fill my travel mug. I either scoot it to the edge of the counter to be able to put the mug below counter height, or just decant from a regular mug. Not a big deal. I like very strong coffee, so I end up only being able to make about 9 cups at a time without overflowing the coffee ground area. I probably shouldn't drink more than that anyway...It's definitely worth the money, and I have had no negative issues with it.
