Excellent coffeemaker and very simple to use. This was purchased as a gift for my daughter. She loves it. I have had my Cuisinart coffeemaker for 10 years and have had no problems with it. I especially like the stainless steel carafe, never had to replace it, 100% better than the glass ones.

Just perfect for the 2 cup a day user. Cheaper than using a kuerig

Compact and stylish. Coffee is perfect and this pot makes two mugs full. Perfect for me.

There’s a lot to love about this little machine. Obviously compact, I found it to be well built consistent with the Cuisinart brand. The stainless carafe should last longer than glass, which has invariably been the limiting factor for longevity in my prior coffee makers. Its 30 minute shutoff protects brew flavor that might otherwise be spoiled by prolonged heating. It brews quickly and quietly. It accomodates #2 cone filters and keeps them from folding in on themselves. In my previous (different branded) coffeemaker the filters had a tendency to “wilt”, resulting in a failed brew and wasted coffee.My only issue with this Cuisinart coffee maker lies with its carafe design, which does not allow for all the liquid to be poured. A small amount, perhaps a cc or two, is invariably trapped under the rim. With coffee it’s wasted, and the carafe is always wet out of the dishwasher. Otherwise I’ve found this to be an excellent compact coffeemaker.One other thing: I generally leave the top up so the interior can dry out between uses. I can’t help seeing Darth Vader sitting on the counter; it’s a bit disconcerting but one gets accustomed.

Good coffee, easy to use and easy to clean.

It’s the perfect size for my needs. I am concerned about long term durability and don’t think it will hold up to everyday use. An internal plastic part keeps coming off, so that’s not a good sign. I am satisfied with the brew quality. My Cuisinart Grind & Brew is a much better coffee maker, but it’s too tall to put under my cabinet.

The coffee maker works like a charm. The amount is perfect for one a two coffee drinkers. It’s easy to remove filter holder. My only observation is the plastic rim of the steel pot itself is hard to clean. It holds a bit of water that spreads when you place upright.

After many long years of wonderful service, we had to replace our little Red Cuisinart.Since Red was no longer a choice, we went with this Black one.It also works really well, just a little tight getting the gold filter out.Highly recommended for a quick, smooth tasting coffee.

This my 3rd Cuisinart 4 Cup Coffeemaker. This one seems cheaply made and I am disappointed in how skimpy its parts are. I am disappointed!!!

No more shattered carafes. Small. Simple. No frills.

Coffee flavor was an improvement over my old maker. Automatic shutoff is a little fast.
Bell Runolfsson (verified owner) –
This is a replacement for my first one – had it for many years. It’s not the same quality as my old one. The top lid does not close properly, water remains in filter and does not drip into the carafe.

Works fine but unfortunately doesn’t tell you when it is done. A beep alert would have been good.
Horace Padberg (verified owner) –
Works perfectly if you want to have 2-4 cups of coffee.
