This is my second thermal carafe model as the old one finally died after about 11 years of problem free continuous use. I really like the new model as it can make 12 cups instead of the old 10 and the display and control buttons are large and easy to read. I also like the see through window on the side of the machine so you can more easily see how full the water reservoir is. The old model didn’t have that feature. Some of the other reviews mentioned a few complaints and I can address some of them so that you can operate the coffee maker without any negative issues. If the carafe lid is not screwed on fully it will dribble when pouring and make a mess. I also found it sometimes gets hard to tighten the lid fully which just adds to the problem, so I just rubbed a tiny bit of cooking oil on the tip of my finger around the rubber seal and it seals smoothly and perfectly every time- no more dribbling coffee while pouring. Another review mentioned you can’t pour out all the coffee out of the pot, but don’t worry: You never have to lose any coffee. When you are down to the last bit of coffee just unscrew the lid and pour every last drop into your cup and use that as an opportunity to rinse the pot- you'll need to rinse the pot anyway, and why dump perfectly good coffee into the sink? Also, make sure you rinse out the lid: if you don’t, coffee residue can build up inside. And although years ago I used to use the glass carafe to pour water into the coffee maker, the thermal carafe isn’t very efficient for filling the reservoir. I solved the problem by keeping a plastic pouring container by the coffee supplies in the cabinet to do it. It's easier that way rather than spilling. I hope this one lasts me another 11 years.

I bought this to replace my original Cuisinart thermal coffee maker which finally died after some 20 years. This is the best coffee maker, hands down. The carafe keeps your coffee hot on its own... No burner means no burnt coffee and it stays hot for hours. This model has some really handy improvements over my old one , eg, the display is very big, bright and easy to read and the indicator lights are also bright, so it's much easier to notice when you forget to turn the timer on! I probably won't ever use the Bold flavor option, but it's nice to have. Btw I never use or replace the water filters and it's never been a problem. I also use regular basket filters as opposed to the pricy #2 filters and they work just fine.

I should have paid better attention to the reviews. What a waste of money. I’d return this silly thing but I’ve already passed along my lovely Oster to someone else. Perhaps a 3 year old could reach inside the carafe to clean it, but not an adult. The carafe has to be, literally, turned upside down to pour out all the coffee. Seriously?! Unless I pour the coffee at a slow trickle, it pours out the sides of the spout onto the counter. The area in which to pour the water is so small and awkwardly placed that it’s bound to spill everywhere unless one had perfect hand-eye coordination at 6am. Stupid, stupid design flaws

This machine has pretty much any feature you could ask for. Pros: Looks beautiful on my counter, it's not overly large and the stainless steel compliments my other appliances. Very simple to use, especially when programming your coffee for the morning. I like the fact that after the coffee brews you have an alert sound in which you can choose to turn off or on. Very easy to see the water level on the side when pouring the water in. Coffee is very hot when brewed. Coffee carafe keeps coffee hot for quite sometime. I left coffee in the carafe over night and it was still lukewarm the next day. Cons: When pouring the coffee from carafe you have to practically turn it up side down. You must pour slow or the coffee will spray all over. In order to clean the pot you'll have to get a scrub brush as you can't fit your hand in the carafe. Overall the pros out weigh the cons. I'm definitely keeping this machine it's make a great cup of coffee!

It makes a great hot cup of coffee. Easy to use, good features- like the 1-4 cup option makes it hotter and slightly bolder. My wife complains that the lid on the thermal carafe has areas impossible to reach for cleaning thoroughly- without a small brush. This is 100% true so all the 5 star reviews are from Cuisinart lovers who can't see a negative. Another large x is you need super tiny hands to get through the top of the carafe if you want to scrub it. Or you need a dedicated brush on a wire. Or you can put it in the dishwasher every night, but how do you do that if you want to preset your brew time for the first stroll into the kitchen?All in all it's a good coffee maker, have had about 9 0r 10 in my 42 years. BUT it's not perfect 😕
