Makes a good cup of coffee, hasn't broken yet, and is easy to clean.

I've just kept using it and warming up my cup of coffee but now 6 months later every time i make a pot of coffee, it just keeps turning off on

Every cup tastes and smells terrible, like really bad chemical plastic!I followed the manufacturer instructions for initial cleaning and prep

I like the 12 cup because I fill my Thermos and a cup for the road!

"Steal a cup" makes the brewing time inconsequential.

Required twice as much coffee grounds to make a good cup of coffee because the water is not heated enough to extract the flavor

My one single complaint is that I have not yet been able to get a decent cup of coffee out of it.

Now with the same amount of coffee I can have a rich flavorful cup of coffee simply by setting the maker to strong

I've already had to jettison the spring that is supposed to allow you to steal a cup because it kept clogging up and over-flowing the basket.

It makes a good, if not great, cup of coffee (depending on your beans).The things I find irritating are:1

You really don't need a bunch of bells and whistles for a good cup of coffee.

After two months the second maker stopped brewing the correct cups of coffee

The unit has a hot water spray built into the lid which cleverly soaks the coffee grounds in a uniform manner, the result is a great cup of coffee

Makes a good cup of coffee.

pad and the water scale is on the left instead of right , and the pad the pot sits on got scratched immediatly from the sliding in and out , but, having said that, we are 3 pots per day average drinkers and we love the 12 cup capacity, very user friendly as we are 65-73 year olds

I often begin drinking my morning cup and have too many things to do to enjoy my second cup

I enjoy a good cup of coffee, and so far the taste isn't there.

Plus it makes a great cup of coffee

DH loves the extra cups to please his coffee habit.

I've had others over the years and they've never made a very good cup of strong coffee when only making a few cups.

The 12-cup stainless carafe pours without spilling and keeps the coffee hot

Oh, it makes a good cup of coffee, too

Does not brew a HOT cup of coffee.

But it make a good cup of coffee.

Think the shower effect makes for good even drip and a great cup of coffee.

My old Cuisinart 12 cup died.

no problems .... makes an excellent cup of coffee

Makes a great cup of coffee, timer works, and the ability to select a strength is an added perk.

There are product benefits, learning the control panel, programming the coffee maker to make pot when it would best suit you, tips for brewing the perfect cup, proper use & care, and much more

VERY NICE 12 CUP COFFER MAKER - BREWS QUICK & QUALITY TASTING CUPS OF COFFEE EVERT TIME.

I love a good cup of coffee, and normally purchase gourmet coffee beans which I grind in my burr grinder.

The coffee was perfectly hot, the last cup was as hot and delicious as the first, the carafe itself is easy to clean thanks to the large opening, and the spout on the carafe pours out perfectly!

Makes a great cup of coffee and the thermal carafe doesn't scorch the coffee!

Bottom line, this is my new day-to-day coffee maker, it is simple, elegeant easy to use, easy to set up and make a pretty decent cup of coffee!

When the pot was finally finished I poured a cup and sat down to enjoy my first cup of coffee from a new machine

Makes a nice cup of coffee especially when put it on the bold setting

It is very nice looking, easy to keep clean and makes a great tasting cup of coffee.

Overall this works very well for me, the 1-4 cup and strong settings are great and the timer works perfectly

Overall this works very well for me, the 1-4 cup and strong settings are great and the timer works perfectly

I never thought a coffee maker could actually play that big of a role in making coffee but this machine just doesn't make a good cup of coffee.

It is easy to use, quiet, makes a great cup of coffee at a slightly higher temperature which keeps it warm longer

Makes a great cup of coffee, keeps a pot or even partial pot warm for hours after brewing without burning it up

Makes a great cup a coffee, can set it to brew norm/strong/very strong

This coffee machine is nice and decorative but not efficient, the platform does not heat up as the coffee cools quickly because the thermal cup is not enough

love the wide pour spout.realizing everyone like their coffee at a different temperature all I can say is that the first cup in the morning needs to cool a bit before I drink it. if you refill a partially full cup, say about half I go to the microwave to get it hot again

no problems .... makes an excellent cup of coffee

and it makes an excellent cup of coffee.

It can make up to 12 cups, yet it's easy to sneak a cup as needed.5

The automatic timer allows me to wake up to a fresh, hot cup in the mornings even if I sleep in a bit

, it makes a good cup of coffee

Brews a great, smooth cup of coffee and the thermal pot keeps it consistently warm for upwards of 2.5 hours.

Has great options for brewing (strong & bold) and makes an impressive 12 cups

Little slow, but makes a great cup of coffee, just set the timer.

Easy to use, makes a great cup of coffee.

We just purchased another brand of coffee maker for our vacation home that makes a delicious cup of coffee and no problem with staining in the thermal pot or tasting burnt.

It is simple to use, makes a very good cup of coffee

My Mr Coffee non thermal actually makes a better cup

Leaks pouring a cup from initial use.

So then we tried using less coffee than normal, and on regular setting, and that's where we found our perfect cup of coffee!So even on the standard setting, you will need less coffee

had a Keurig type coffee pot that finally brewed its last cup and my wife hated it - so we went this route

Brews a "damn fine cup of coffee" (to use the Twin Peaks line), and keeps it hot & fresh for hours.

Making 10-12 cups is not possible unless you like your coffee extremely weak

and I found myself using it more often than I thought I would since it requires less input from me and makes a good cup

The pot keeps a hot cup of coffee up to 12 hours when instructions to preheat pot with hot water are followed.

You can sneak a cup

We make coffee at 3am and are still drinking a hot cup at 7am

Twenty second time to "steal" a cup before brewing is complete.

I like it a lot, and I wouldn't justify spending more money for something else if what you want is a good cup of coffee from a easy-to-use straightforward maker... that has a timer so your coffee is ready for you in the morning (but will auto-shut off if you happen to leave it on too long, after a few hours).btw, the plastic edging on the carafe also will make the edges less likely to chip, so that's another testament to Ease Of Use and thoughtful simple design.

To bad I could not even get one cup of coffee out of this product

2nd days use, and it provides a better cup of coffee, especially since we started grinding coffee beans and filtering water

Brews an excellent cup of coffee, comes with a caraffe to keep your coffee hot and fresh for hours and it is a great value for the price offered.

The only thing I really dislike is that it's a struggle to get the thermos back in place after serving yourself that delicious cup of coffee

The first cup is so strong you can't even drink it

Keeps coffee hot, allows settings for brewing strength and makes 12 cups at a time, a plus, or fewer cups equally well.

The thermos keeps the coffee hot without cooking the coffee so the last cup tastes as good as the first.

It works as expected, makes a great cup of coffee and keeps it warm long enough for the morning drinking.

and I have to say it made the best cup of coffee that I have made in a long time

I like simplistic, easy coffee making that results in a decent cup of coffee.

The seal foes insure a hot cup

What we love about it:- 12 cups isn't necessary on a daily basis but nice to have it when guests are

This coffee maker makes a real good cup of coffee

This coffee maker leaks badly, has water build up in the filter area, and does not brew a hot cup of coffee (you shouldn't need to microwave fresh coffee)

This simple coffeemaker makes a great cup off coffee.

I just don't think that it makes a very good cup

I hated it, every single cup, every single day

It makes a great cup of coffee.

I like being able to control the amount of coffee I make, whether it's 1-4 cups or 12, and how strong my coffee will brew, not to forget being able to sneak a cup !!

Also we could not get the 1-4 cup feature to work.

That old 8-cup had a leaky freaky twist top, but the lever on this 12-cup works like a charm.

That old 8-cup had a leaky freaky twist top, but the lever on this 12-cup works like a charm.

If I don't want to brew a large pot of coffee, there's 1-4 cup setting that slows down the brewing to achieve the same flavor as a larger batch

I can't break the carafeReasonableCons:Makes a very weak cup of coffee compared to my older Mr Coffee one.

What surprised me the most was that this coffee maker, with its settings for strength, makes a far superior cup of coffee than the one I'd been using

For a cheapie, however, that one uses only intermittently, it's handsome, it's stainless steel, and it works okay for a bunch of folks wishing for a first and second hot cup in one morning/breakfast-time/after-dinner setting.

Great tasting cup of coffee

It brews a decent cup of day to day coffee

The first cup of coffee is fine but the second has a gross bitter metallic taste to it

The first cup is fine - a cup poured even 30 min

It's a fairly simple model without a lot of bells and whistles, but it brews an excellent cup of coffee (you'll say "Ahhhh" when you taste it).We had a thermal carafe coffee maker in the distant past that ended up lukewarm after a half hour

The coffee maker was easy to setup, and we had reasonable expectations that it would make a decent cup of coffee

Well the 2-4 cup setting, as well as the bold, and extra bold settings all brought out a bitter, burnt, charred characteristic that we didn't like, even when using less coffee

I went to this one from my Mr. Coffee thermal carafe maker because i liked the 12-cup.

If you're used to drinking nasty bulk Colombian coffee, this will probably work fine, but if you actually enjoy a smooth cup of coffee, I'd strongly recommend using something else.

This coffee pot is quiet, quick, efficient, and brews a GREAT cup of coffee!

Great product as always, A good cup of coffee, Easy maintenance.....

This is unfortunate as all i wanted was a warm cup of coffee, not more work because I purchased a defective product.

and I like the strength settings, as well as the 1-4 cup setting.

I have had it for about two months now, and it’s always made a good tasting, perfectly hot cup of coffee

Every cup tastes and smells terrible, like really bad chemical plastic!I followed the manufacturer instructions for initial cleaning and prep

12 cup keeps coffee hot without burning it

It produces a good cup of coffee at a reasonable price.

I find it brews a good strong cup using rich dark roasted coffees.

Taste sooo good to have a rich cup of coffee at home coming from the girl that asks for three extra shots in a caramel macchiato at sbucks
