What our customer's say!

"Mine also leaked", I figured that those folks who complained about the pot leaking while making the coffee just got unlucky and got a bad one. Well, I guess I did too! It made one great pot of coffee and the next three times I used it, it spewed water all over the counter top. It goes back to the store tomorrow.

"Will buy again despite design flaws.", We've had this coffeemaker for 2 years now, and despite the design flaws, will repurchase.

Upside:

1) Taste. Simply put, makes the best coffee we have ever tasted. Blows away the average cup served by starbucks/coffeebean/Petes, etc.

2) Keeps coffee HOT. The carafe keeps the coffee piping hot for hours. We make a pot in the morning to drink during the day, and it's still plenty hot after dinner if we warm the cream in the micro for 30 seconds. No loss in flavor. All of our friends love the coffee when they come for a visit, which seems to always be hot and ready for guests. I have never purchased a machine that makes coffee this good which is the most important issue for us in a coffee maker, period.

Downside:

1) Yes, you need to line up the lid - so what? A few turns counterclockwise will line up the threads. Tighten, visually inspect, and you're good to go.

2) Occasional overflow. This is always due to user error, either we forgot to line up the lid or overfilled the filter with coffee. In three years, this has only happened 3 times. The last time we set the coffee maker in a tray with a big lip at the edges to catch the overflow. This worked great, but we didn't consider the maker would be sitting in the coffee, and this ultimately burned out the controls. Perhaps we will set this on something in the tray, so that if it spills over, it won't be sitting in the liquid.

That having said, we are thrilled with our coffee maker, and will repurchase exactly the same model. I consider 3 years of excellent, hot coffee worth the investment, especially because overflow was due to our own user error and can be avoided in the future. I would not hesitate to recomemend this model to any of our friends and family who appreciate excellent coffee on a daily basis.




"Has ups and downs...", We've had this coffee maker for about 3 years now and it has been a good overall purchase. Our favorite feature is that it keeps the coffee VERY hot for a VERY long time. Dislikes include:
- LOUD alarm that cannot be shut off. Sometimes we just turn it off before it is finished because it is so annoying.
- You must align the caraffe perfectly with the drip basket. One slight misalignment will cause coffee to drip everywhere.
- After three years, the whole contraption is getting a little tired. The top lid of the caraffe seems to get backed up more often than it used to. Is that to be expected for a three year old coffee maker that gets used 1-2 times a day? I guess it's up to you to decide...

"Cuisinart DTC-975BKN 12-Cup Coffeemaker", Best thermal caraffe I've ever used. Coffee stays hot well into the afternoon when brewed around 6:00 AM. The unit itself is a little tall and must be pulled out from under the wall cabinet to pour in the water. Coffee tastes fine, though I haven't made anything other than Folgers yet. It's also nice that the caraffe holds 12 cups. There's finally enough coffee for my wife and I in the morning. The pour spout spatters a little if you're not careful.

"Lousy Product", I purchased this less than a month ago, and as another reviewer noted, the machine is terrible. I've probably used it less than 15 times, and already it's stopped working. Press the "on" button, and be delighted by its one to two minute "brew cycle", where nothing happens. My machine is currently on its way back to Amazon.

"wonderful to wake with", This is a wonderful coffee maker. The coffee stays hot for hours. The programable features are easy and I love to wake up with the fresh smell of coffee in the house. Why did I wait so long? We use a recycleble filter which fits nicely as well.

"Coffee stays hot but ...", I purchased this coffee maker 3 years ago. I had very high hopes for it since it was made by Cuisinart and I already owned another product from them that was very high quality. This product does not live up to their reputation. For the price I paid ($100) and the amount of time I have owned it, it has not proven to be a quality product.

I love the fact that it keeps the coffee steaming hot for hours unless the pot is about 1/4 full in which case it cools down to warm. As others have already mentioned, you must be very careful to line up the lid and the arrow when you are brewing a pot. This isn't difficult just something you need to pay attention to. I use another carafe to fill the water reservoir because it is just easier.

I use the programable feature everyday so that coffee will be ready in the morning. This is great except for when the electricity goes off for 30 seconds to a minute or so. Cuisinart didn't bother to have any kind of battery backup which is typically for 5 to 15 minutes and is found on many other high end coffee makers. This is quite frustrating if you experience electrical fluctuations of very short duration very often. Of course, then you need to reset the programable feature as well as the time. The display window is adequate but the auto program indicator and the pm indicator are so tiny that you need a magnifier to see them. Also, the ink has faded/worn off on the front of the machine for the most part. So if you don't already have it memorized where the on/off/hr/ min/auto program buttons are located it will be difficult to set the time etc.

I don't have any complaints about the brew cycle or the taste of my coffee. I have never experienced an overflow during brewing. I use drip grind coffee and find this works very well in this machine.

While my coffee tastes good and stays hot, I don't think this machine is a good value. It is overpriced, poor quality, and not up to Cusinart's usual high standards.




"Don't buy this coffee maker", Let me start saying what's awesome about this coffee maker. There's no burner, so the coffee tastes wonderful till the last drop. The inside is metal and not glass, which means it's easy to clean and you don't have to worry about a glass interior breaking.

Here's the bad. If you use a lot of coffee or finely ground coffee, it doens't drain through fast enough and your counters and floor will wind up full of coffee. I purchased mine in DC and it had problems with esspresso so I don't brew that anymore. I bought it for a relative when I was in CA and for another relative when I was in IN. I feel bad because they have overflow problems worse than I, and they are using grocery store bought Starbucks. One relative sets it in the sink to brew it.

I called Cuisinart to ask them about this problem. I told them the internet has a lot of negative reviews about this coffee maker overflowing. They asked if I was using the plastic filter along with a paper filter....why would I do that? Needless to say it was an aggravating expereince. Cuisinart customer serive is awful!

So, if you use a lot of coffee, I wouldn't recommend this product. Or, buy it from a store so if you do have an overflow problem, you can return it easily.

"Impossible to clean", I have had this coffee maker for over a year. For the first few months it made awesome coffee. The carafe keeps the coffee hot/warm all day which is great. But, unfortunately this coffee maker has a few flaws that takes away all its redeeming qualities.
1)The carafe is impossible to clean. It has a tiny opening up top that we can get only a baby bottle brush in. When I look in through the top, there are stains in there I cannot remove and I am never sure how clean the carafe really is.
2)The lid to the carafe that prevents spilling and coffee backing up is not cleanable. There is a little ball in there that can be removed/clean, but there are little plastic balls in there that are not accessible nor are the cleanable.
3)Because of its lack of clean-ability, over time the quality of the coffee deteriorates.

"very good product", we find this coffee maker/thermal carafe a very good appliance. the thermal carafe keeps liquids hot for up to 10 hours.
