ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD CAN’T BUY A BETTER COFFEEMAKER
With enough money in your bank account, you should be able to buy perfection in the form of a watch or a car or a purse that is damn near perfect. Not is the case with coffeemakers. I have spent weeks researching on Amazon and YouTube only to find out that each model at every price point falls short. It became very annoying to find that every machine I researched experienced one ore more of the following issues: settings too complicated to master, coffee takes too long to brew, coffee comes out of machine not that hot, coffee comes out of the machine bitter tasting, steam from machine smells like melting plastic, machine leaks while brewing, machine impossible to clean, carafe does not pour without spilling, machine stops working in a month and on and on and on. The more I researched coffee makers, the more pissed off I became. We have developed technology so that cars can drive themselves, but so many brands offer coffee makers incapable of doing what people have done manually for centuries. Even more interesting, those who bought more expensive machines wrote even more scathing reviews because their machines let them down equally. Reviews are important to me, and this coffee maker caught my attention because it has 4.6 STARS. It is not the most aesthetically pleasing small appliance in our kitchen, BUT it makes smooth, good tasting, hot coffee every morning. Coffee brews quickly and stays hot in the pot for hours. It is easy to figure out, simple to program, and easy to clean. I can’t speak to reliability, but it seems to be well made and we’ve had no issues smelling burning or melting plastic while it’s brewing. If it keeps working this well for the next couple months, I am going to buy a second one to keep in the closet just in case Kitchen Aid discontinues the one coffee maker on the market that actually works well. Super bowls have been won on the premise that true greatness comes from a relentless focus on and mastery of the simple, foundational elements of any task, making success an inevitable outcome of disciplined repetition. Why does this way of thinking has not been applied to design of coffee makers, I will never understand!!!

24+ years on the 1st one of these!
This coffee maker replaces the same model that I purchased and used daily for over 24 years! I’m sure of the date (2001) because we had just moved when I got it. I even checked my memory by calling Cuisinart, and they said this model came out in 2000. I think I got it because Consumer Reports recommended it. Anyway after it died, I started looking for a replacement that addressed the only thing I don’t like about it – no outside water gauge. After trying and returning a different brand, I’m back to this one:Pros – (1) makes good coffee; (2) adjustable temp heater plate – I use cream so want my coffee piping hot; (3) 1-4 cup setting… again to have hot enough coffee; (4) programmable (5) great carafe — doesn’t spill when pouring, and the lid can come all the way off, not just hinged. It’s on there securely which it has to be for spill free pouring, but it’s not hard to pop off when you want to clean the pot. And sturdy!! Can’t tell you how many times I’ve accidentally smacked it against a granite countertop without breaking it in all those years. Not recommending, just sayin’! (6) Cord length = 26.5″. Short enough so it tucks behind the machine and isn’t annoyingly all over your countertop, and long enough that you can pull the coffee maker out free from under your upper cabinets when brewing, so steam doesn’t hit them.Cons: (1) In 25 years, why oh why hasn’t Cuisinart put a water gauge on the outside for those times you need to remember how much you put in? This was the main annoyance that had me looking elsewhere. The one inside is virtually impossible to read unless you have in 12 cups. It’s a ridiculous water gauge. (2) The “done” beeps are louder than on my old one. I noticed the first day, and haven’t noticed it since. I guess I don’t find it as horrific as some other reviewers have mentioned, but it was fine at the volume it used to be. Unless your situation is sensitive, the volume is likely not a deal breaker.Pro or Con? Depends on your point of view: The clock window is tiny and not backlit. I personally don’t want one more electronic thing with a bright display on it in my kitchen and I don’t use it as a kitchen clock so I couldn’t care less. However if you change programmable settings often or otherwise need to read the clock, you’ll need good lighting and good eyes.I’ve read the reviews of others who got lemons that didn’t last — if this one lasts even half as long as my first one I’ll be happy. If not, I’ll update my review…p.s.: Have not had a problem with the water height marks wearing off the carafe because I never put in the dishwasher, which will eventually take marks like that off anything. Given the lack of an exterior water reservoir guide, that may be important to your choice.

十数年前に買った前身モデルが壊れて買い替えました、。これからまた長いお付き合いです。日本製と違って武骨なところが良いです。

Bought this to replace our 10 year old Cuisinart coffee maker which was still working but getting old and slow. This is a great little machine, easy to use and fast (under 10 minutes to brew 12 cups). This is our third Cuisinart and we wouldn’t use any other brand!

Nothing to dislike about this. Best coffee-maker I have ever owned. Capable of brewing full-flavoured HOT coffee in small or large batches. Great extraction of flavour (I find most cone filters do this better than basket filters), and lots of customizable features. The metal “gold” permanent filter is a nice bonus – offers a slightly different flavour, but nice, especially if you forgot to buy filters. The water filter is a neat idea too, as long as it is easy to find replacements. I use Brita-filtered water anyway so don’t really need it. I appreciate the strength selection option and the special 1-4 cup setting that makes nice strong and HOT coffee for 2 (4 cups really means 2 average mugs). Seems well put together and has a nice retro look. The only thing that doesn’t work for me is the water level indicator inside, as I am short and the maker is tall, so I would need to stand on a chair and look down into it to see the water level, but as long as I measure it out properly in the first place (with the carafe) I don’t really need to do those gymnastics. Did I say it makes HOT coffee? Most do not, and I have had many coffee makers over the years, so this must be emphasized. Auto shut off is nice too, as I have no memory, lol. No more baked-on coffee film on the bottom of the carafe. If this lasts, it might be the last coffee maker I will ever need. No regrets.

他のクイジナートのコーヒーメーカーと比べるとレトロ感が気に入っていますが、ちょとチャチイかもしれません。
