Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

so far we are very happy with all of the functions.As far as some of the negative reviews, I haven't experienced any of these problems.The coffee is plenty hot, it brews fast, easy to clean, easy to fill etc.We have owned three Hamilton Beach brewmasters & I would have to say the Cuisinart is far superior to them in every way.

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

Easy to use, makes great coffee every time, easy to clean. This is my second time purchasing the Cuisinart coffee maker. my first one lasted forever, but it finally broke and I was given another kind of coffee maker. It kept leaking in the well and I was afraid it would catch on fire, so I went back and brought another Cuisinart. Now I'm happy.

This is our second one . Just needed to upgrade. Really like not worrying about a pot.

Because my mother is unable to pick up a 12 cup carafe I decided to purchase the DCC 3000 coffee maker. The results have been great. The coffee taste great and the convenience is beyond great. It is so nice to just place the cup under the dispenser and have coffee when ever you want, even if you can not pick up a carafe full of hot coffee.

I like the side water reservoir and the ease of keeping it clean. Although it has a 3 year warranty it cost over half of what I paid for the item in shipping cost to send it back . So I bought another new one.

Exactly what I was looking for. Love not having carafe. Keeps coffee hot for about 5 hours and when the drip tray plate is removed, it will handle a travel mug 6 1/2" high. Makes really good coffee using the coffee filter.

This product is durable and long lasting. Easy to clean and use.

Love this product! No carafe to break and have to replace... and coffee does not get that yucky burned flavor after an hour or so. Easy to clean, easy to set up for brewing. Great for small or large crowd as brewing number of cups is adjustable. I never use the timer, but usually have it ready to go, water and coffee in unit so all I do is push on every AM. I've even put it in the dishwasher ( top rack) but it's really not necessary. I wouldn't trade it. Best part is the coffee stays hot and does not get that yucky burned taste! You won't regret it.

Easy to clean and there is less cleaning than the typical coffee carafe. Easy to use. We like it very much.

Great single cup coffee maker...keeps coffee nice and hot easy to pour and good lasting product...had a previous one for 6 years.

Best coffee maker ever. The ease of use and quality is amazing.

Works great. Easy to clean and no spills with like with a pot.
