Bought as replacement for a Braun 4 cup coffee maker which is no longer available. The Good: The Cuisnart 4 cup coffee maker brews quickly and is the perfect size for one or two cups of coffee. The lid works in such a way as it will not break as easily as the Braun did (on multiple occasions). The stainless steel pot reduces worrry about breakage. The Bad: You need filters for the coffee maker and it does not come with them. I use a plastic and mesh Braun filter with mine rather than buying paper filters on a regular basis. My biggest complaint is cleaning it. The plastic rim around the top of the pot retains water so drying require using a towel unless you're okay with water dripping down the inside of the pot after everything else has dried. You also need to remove the internal filter holder and wash it as well as the drying the mechanism which holds the water for brewing as the steam generated moistens the entire inside are of the brewing machine. All in all, I think it is a bit expensive for what you get.Read full review

This coffee maker has two very good features that I wanted in a coffee maker. There is a stainless steel pot and and automatic shut off timer at 30 minutes. The stainless steel pot won't shatter if dropped and if you forget to turn the brewer off after you have left for the office in the morning, there is no need to worry as the automatic shut off kicks in. The brew temperature is perfect and the brew time is just right. One bad feature is the shape of the coffee brew pot. With a flat top and short handle, one must be careful when pouring as the hot vapors from the brewed coffee will encompass the hand and could cause a burn if you are not careful. Otherwise, this is a great deal for the cost, the flavor of the brewed coffee is consistent, and cleaning and set up take little effort. I would recommend this to anyone only wishing to brew coffee (max 4 cups) for single use.Read full review
I bought this coffee maker to replace one just like it that actually still works and have used for about five years. I fine grind my own coffee and the cone filters work the best for a fine grind. I use it three times a day filled to the three cup line which makes about 18oz. of coffee. I have read reviews that complained about spilling, leakage, automatic shut-off after 1/2 hr, and the brew-stop feature, and the lid not opening far enough. So far after 2 months no trouble with this one. Now about my old one. First of all, the tops does open far enough to allow pouring easily into the well. The pot has a tab on the lid to put your thumb on to keep it in place while pouring. The brew-stop feature worked ok. I broke the tab on the maker lid while trying to clean it, but used a paperclip to do the job. Eventually the rubber gasket on the pot came loose and did start to leak. I pryed it open as much as I could and used latex sealant to keep it in place. The coffe never touched the sealant and I could not detect any taste in the coffee. I'm not cheap, just a problem solver. It did not laek after that. It takes about 7 minutes to brew a full pot and will shut off about 20 min. after that. As with my new one, coffee temp measured with my digital meat thermometer was always around 175-178 degrees. Plenty hot for me. I drink the coffe made within the shut-off time of 1/2 hr anyhow so for me it is always hot. I only bought this new one because of the price on-line and did not want to wait until it did break and the have to go without for a week. I cleaned the old one and put it in my pantry in case I do need it. In all, this is a great coffee maker for the way I brew and drink my coffee. Highly recommended from my experience!Read full review
What good is a durable (stainless steel) pot without a durable coffee maker to go along with it? I should have known this coffee maker wasn't going to hold up after I had to return the (same model) first coffee maker after the first time I used it. The "sneak a cup" feature on this first one didn't work. This was due to the fact that one of the flimsy little spokes around the dome shape in the middle of the lid was cracked when I bought it. Now, only 6 months later, the cheesy little plastic lever that slides along the lid when you open and close it broke off so I have to manually lift the spray arm to access the basket. I went to cuisinart.com for parts and they only offer a carafe, basket or lid. I knew from day one that I had to be careful using this machine and always have been, so I know it didn't fall apart from being abused.Read full review
