Great coffee maker at a great price! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Well folks, I really like the coffee maker. It makes the coffee quickly and quit hot, much hotter that my last coffee maker. The only criticism that I would have is that it is a little difficult pouring the water into the unit. You have to really concentrate while pouring, this can be a little difficult when just waking up. Other than that, nice unit!

Great Choice 4 out of 5 stars.

This replaced another Cuisinart that I had for three years. I am well satisfied with this item with the exception of the small opening to pour water into the cavity. The brew produes a very good quality of coffee. I throughly enjoy my morning coffee and use only high quality beans that I grind myself. I was very disapointed that my previous machine "conked" out on me after just three plus years.

Editorial Review:

This state of the art coffeemaker lets you fine tune the process from filtering the water you brew with to keeping the brewed coffee at the precise temperature you desire. If you're the impatient type you can grab a cup before brewing is complete (or program your coffee to be ready and waiting at wake up time), and if you tend to be forgetful, this appliance has auto shut off. Seems as though Cuisinart has covered all the bases in this deluxe coffeemaker.

Editorial Review:

Wouldn't this make a great gift for a student, or a commuter? The machine brews right into the thermal travel mug and then shuts itself off, so your favorite coffee lover can simply grab and go!Great for commuters, office professionals, and one-coffee-drinker households, this personal coffeemaker brews 15 ounces of coffee directly into a stainless-steel travel mug. The mug has a rubber handle for a safe grip and a lid to keep coffee hot. It's tapered to a 2-1/2-inch-diameter bottom, so it fits most vehicle cup holders. The coffeemaker itself is designed for an on-the-go coffee drinker. It has a permanent filter--no messy disposable paper filters required--and shuts off automatically after brewing. The mug, filter, filter basket, and mug lid are dishwasher-safe, and the coffeemaker can also be used to heat water for tea, hot chocolate, and instant foods like oatmeal and soup. Made of gleaming black plastic, it measures 9-3/4 inches high, 7 inches wide, and 6 inches deep, and carries a one-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Satisfied 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I have had this unit for about 1-2 months now and so far it has performed well. The carafe keeps the coffee hot but we don't like how far you have to tip the carafe in order to pour the coffee into your mug. Brewed coffee temperature is more than hot enough. Very cool sleek design.

Stopped working after 6 months 3 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

makes acceptable coffee when it works. The cap for the carafe is a poor design and is easily lost as it has no place to store when coffee is brewing. Stopped brewing at only six months. Contacted company but no weekend support so will update when if hear back.

Owned 1 for 2 years, bought another! 5 out of 5 stars.

I looked for a large thermal carafe, metal filter, reliable coffee maker, and this was where my research took me.

I'm very happy with the performance of this machine. So much so that we have just purchased another one.

Great Taste But Not User Friendly 3 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Replaced a glass thermal carafe machine. This unit makes great tasting coffee, but I find it less easy to use. One big issue is the filter bowl. It is too short requiring you to force a # 4 filter down into it. It also barely accepts the needed amount of coffee grinds for strong coffee (5 scoops) and it does not keep coffee hot for more than about an hour, due to the aluminum carafe. Aluminum can never hold heat as well as glass.
All in all, we went back to the old Krups brewer. If taste is the higher priority, this is definitely the brewer to buy.

Very Good Little Coffee Maker 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

My large coffee maker started to go bad (I thought) & being single, I thought a 4 cup machine would be perfect. After I ordered it I saw reviews saying it was "not a 4 cup", coffee "tasted like plastic", & filters were hard to find. I tried to cancel but it was too late--& I'm glad I couldn't! Yes, it's not what most of us would call 4 cups, unless you consider 5 oz. to be a cup. It makes 2 large cups or 3 more average size cups.
I don't know how people say the coffee has a plastic taste. Maybe they did not follow instructions to run it through a few brew cycles before using. I did like I normally do to clean a pot & ran it with some vinegar the 1st cycle--then clear water for a few more cycles. I get no hint at all of any plastic taste.
Filters that fit perfectly are easy to find & cheap. I buy "Brew Rite" filters that are made for 1-4 cup machines at a local chain drug store; 200 filters for $1.59. I'm sure they'd be even cheaper at larger discount stores. Just google "brew rite" to check them out.
I only have a couple issues with the machine. 1)I have to hold the lid up, it just won't seem to stay up on its own. Makes it a little hard to fill. 2) it's a little hard to find the correct angle to fill it, using the carafe. The reservoir is just so little.
Summing up, I think it's a very good choice for someone who wants just a couple of cups of good hot coffee. I dropped it to 4 stars because, IMO, Mr Coffee should NOT label & advertise it as a 4 cup machine.

Editorial Review:

Set the Delay Brew feature up to 24 hours in advance and get ready to wake up to a freshly brewed pot of hot, delicious coffee. This coffee maker also offers Pause `n Serve capability, allowing you to pour a cup of coffee while the coffee maker is still brewing. And the Removable Filter Basket makes cleanup quick-and-easy.

I'm so unhappy with it that I'm returning it.... 1 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I am very disappointed with this coffee maker, and have returned it. I question the objectivity of the top rated positive review that itemizes the various complaints that are common in the other reviews. It's as if they have a stake in sales of the coffee maker. #1, the 3 beeps signaling that coffee brewing is complete is quite annoying. Anyone that makes coffee while others sleep should avoid this coffee maker unless you live in an expansive McMansion, because I can certainly hear it in the most distant bedroom in my 3000+SF home. There is no way to turn it off which is ridiculous for such a costly model with all the bells and whistles. #2,it is quite tall so make sure it will fit under upper cabinets if you intend to store it there. #3, I'm totally disappointed with the carafe. The opening in the top has a very small diameter, presumably to increase the heat retention. The significant trade-off of that is that it is very difficult to clean. If I had kept the coffeemaker, I would have needed to purchase a special bottle-type brush for cleaning the carafe. The screw top cap with floating ball stoppers isn't worth the drawbacks. I would prefer a simple tipping top like my old Braun unit. The top is designed to screw down at an angle (not level) so it always looks like it's not on right (fooling guests and people not accustomed to using it). And the "pour" position isn't easy to see in dim light (and for me without glasses). I suppose I could learn the "Cuisinart sensibility", but life is too short for that. The final straw for me was a friend making coffee for the first time and somehow (never figured it out exactly) didn't get the top on correctly resulting in a huge mess of overflowed coffee grounds, etc. when the coffee in the filter didn't empty into the carafe and overflowed. And the cradle for the filter basket apparently isn't removable making the cleanup a total pain in the you know what. I don't need that kind of complication from a silly coffee maker. I prefer things designed with intuitive ergonomics, simplicity and fundamental ease of use including cleaning. More power to the people that love this coffee maker, but I'm not one of them. I very rarely return items, but this is one of those times. I cant' imagine enduring the intense regret from the purchase every time I make coffee. Happy brewing to you all.....

Loaded with useful features like Brew Pause, automatic shutoff, brewing complete alarm and a #4 paper filter starter kit. Covered by a three-year limited warranty. Model DTC-975

Great Coffeemaker, but get a better filter basket for it 2 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

First, I want to clarify a few things. This coffeemaker does not "self-clean" that I can tell, at least it doesn't have any fancy doohickeys with such a label to do so. Secondly, it just makes coffee and I think it's quiet but then I am hard of hearing and might not notice. Third, the measurements, accurately labelled are approximately as follows: 12.75" high x 7.75" wide x 10" deep. With the lid up, the height is approximately 21.5". The cord does also tuck inside the back, a nice feature IMHO. And finally, the coffee seems to be quite hot enough for drinking, but not so hot that you would burn yourself. That seems to me a safety feature, not a negative. I like to drink my coffee sometimes with milk and sugar, and it's still hot enough for me even with those additions.

This coffeemaker is exactly as easy to use as others have commented, the only quibble I might make is that the LCD clock is flat so you can't really use it like you would a wall clock to see the time from several feet away. If you want such a coffeemaker, then I recommend several of the fine coffeemakers from Mr. Coffee.

The other negative that I might add is that the filter basket has a plastic bottom. I don't like it because it means not all the water drains into the coffee pot and also it isn't as easy to clean because you have to take extra care to make sure all the grounds are washed off.

Coffee tastes great however, and as this is my second Black and Decker coffeemaker, I expect I'll be buying another one when this one bites the dust. In fact, just in case Black and Decker stops making coffeemakers, I'm going to buy another one as a spare in the near future.

Works great, froths hot & cold milk! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

This little gadget works as well as it says it does.

The design is nice and streamlined, it takes up hardly any space at all in the drawer.

I've just rinsed it with hot water after each use and this is all the cleaning it appears to need.

For some reason reading many reviews left me wondering if it would froth hot milk. I have used this to froth cold milk, warm milk, hot milk, whole milk, 1% milk, all frothed in mere seconds.

This, along with my bialetti moka maker, produce a very decent cappuccino.

I don't know how long the batteries will last, but a couple batteries now and then are not going to be a deal breaker on this item, in my opinion.

Buy with confidence, and frankly for the price you cannot go wrong.

Twice DOA!!! 1 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

The item arrived dead. Changed batteries but no luck. The battery compartment appeared bigger than battery size because I could feel the batteries moving inside if I shook it. Don't know how a steady power connection can be maintained with such quality of design/manufacturing.
Thought of giving it a second chance and asked for a replacement. Amazon re-sent it via overnight shipping which arrived the very next day (5 star to Amazon).
THE REPLACEMENT WAS DOA AS WELL!!! SAME LOOSE CONNECTION!!!
Returning for refund this time. Would give -ve rating if possible.

bunn coffee maker 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

recieved in good shape and in minamal time. I have had bun coffee makers for 25 years or more and they make the best coffee and are very fast. The reason I did not give it 5 stars I dont like the way the lid is on the pot. It catches moistue under it and drips when you pour your coffee. Other than that it is great.
