Brew up to 10 cups of flavorful coffee with this sleek-looking countertop appliance. Its 10-cup (5 ounces each) double-wall insulated thermal carafe keeps the last cup as hot and fresh-tasting as the first for hours, plus it provides a generous stay-cool handle and a drip-free spout for graceful serving. Even more, the fully automatic appliance offers 24-hour programmability, which makes it possible to wake up to the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee or to have a pot ready and waiting to serve with dessert–no need to get up from the table half way through dinner. For those less than leisurely mornings or for those just a little less patient when it comes to enjoying that first sip, the coffeemaker’s Brew Pause function sus (more…)

OK Coffeemaker
Make hot coffee but after 5 minute will get cold. When wash it watch sharp edge by the lid.

Compact size (small footprint) yet brews a BIG pot of coffee! The Cuisinart Compact Coffeemaker has it all: programmable, water filter, gold “rinse and re-use” coffee filter, easy to use. Now have coffee READY when you wake up - or brew it and let it stay HOT in the THERMAL carafe. Coffee does not sit there, and burn, on a heating element! agf! Highly recommended.

I normally buy only items that have many reviews and 4 or 5 stars. This coffee maker had only two reviews but I decided to take a chance especially since it could be returned within 30 days. Even though most thermal coffee makers had many good reviews, there were too many negatives for each. I am very happy with this on so far. I have not had any of the problems as with other types — coffee is hot, stays hot for quite some time, doesn’t leak, easy pouring and cleaning, the coffee is good with not plastice taste, carafe fits properly. It does beep when the coffee is done brewing. Compact size is nice. I have not used the timer and probably never will. The best part is that there is a 3 year warranty — I hope it lasts that long!

Not so Hot
Nice machine in many respects, but the coffee is not very hot and not very strong. Even with two scoops of coffee per cup (double the recommended amount), the coffee is on the…

Decent, not great coffee
We had a hard time selecting a coffee maker in our price range. We knew we wanted a thermal pot, and have had problems in the past with leaks while brewing and difficult pour…

I received this Coffee Maker last Friday. First of all, as another reviewer mentioned, I love the clean white/stainless steel look, and the small footprint. I have a very small kitchen and it fits easily on the counter. Second, it comes with its own charcoal filter to filter the water with, but since I use Britta water in my coffee maker, I did not install the charcoal filter that came with the coffee maker. And last, but not least, it makes great coffee. I pre-heat the stainless steel carafe with hot water while I am measuring the coffee and adding the water (remember to empty the carafe before putting into the coffee maker though).
Yes, the carafe does pour slowly because it is trying to keep the heat in, but not so slowly that I find it annoying. Since my second cup is my last cup, I just take the lid off. As far as it beeping too loudly, it doesn’t bother me. That way if I am in the bedroom I can hear the coffee is done. The beeping is not nearly as annoying as my clothes dryer beeping 16 times!
For the price, and the fact that it has a 3 year warranty, looks great, is a Cuisinart, makes great coffee quickly, and is small for a 10 cupper, I give this 5 stars.

WELL DESIGNED THERMAL COFFEE MAKER
I held off for a while buying because of lack of reviews. I received my Cuisinart Monday, May 18 - defective out of box. I received my replacement, Wednesday, May 20.

Nice and good looking too!
Finally, a white thermal coffee maker! Works great. Stays clean looking. Much better than a black coffee maker. Make a 12 cup and I’ll buy it!
