Reviews around plate (4.53 of 5)

  • The warming plate suddenly started hissing and began to glow red
  • Very good product, includes a warming plate that keeps coffee hot!
  • Best feature is the hot plate, keeps the coffee hot after brewing
  • The coffee maker seems to work well, but after a couple of years, I accidentally dropped the unit and broke the bottom plate off the unit
  • And speaking of that, the hot plate on this coffee maker is amazing

Reviews around feature (4.48 of 5)

  • The programmable feature failed completely at 26 months, and now - at 32 months - the burner plate rarely gets hot
  • Besides those two annoying features, this is a really good coffee maker.
  • Disappointing as my entire brew set (holder, grinder, expresso maker, brewer, etc.) were all Cuisinart.
  • This is a good coffee maker with nice features and styling.
  • Additionally, the cleaning feature never worked and when I called the company, shortly after receiving it, they wanted me to send it back at my expense (!).

Reviews around taste (4.29 of 5)

  • This is a great coffee maker-makes the best tasting coffee of any others I have tried.
  • I like the looks of it and the taste of the coffee it makes.

Reviews around design (4.07 of 5)

  • I love the design, it's simple and classy and very easy to use
  • None of that with this coffee maker - the design and quality is solid, and everything works well.
  • I like its streamlined design, ease of use -- and the coffee flavor is great
  • This coffee maker makes a great cup of coffee, however the coffee maker only last a few months and is a very poor design, it gets clogged with coffee grounds all of the time and stops brewing your coffee
  • Aside from bad design making it difficult to fill, it broke with relatively light use, 2-3 times per week

  • I like the looks of it and the taste of the coffee it makes.
  • I made the mistake of buying a cheap-o Mr. Coffee with a basket filter and was sorely disappointed
  • This coffee maker is good looking and futuristic but it hates humans
  • This coffee maker is good looking and futuristic but it hates humans
  • It is a shame they can't fix this issue as it is nice looking, doesn't take up a lot of room and makes good coffee.

Reviews around coffeemaker (3.90 of 5)

  • We tried to run it with vinegar, as we did periodically to clean it, but this was a dead coffeemaker
  • This is a good coffeemaker that is great while it lasts
  • We like the new coffeemaker as well, makes good quality coffee, love the preset time.
  • There are a couple of things I don't like, but for the most part, it's a good coffeemaker
  • I don't know if Cuisinart is using cheaper quality parts or if I was simply sent a defective coffeemaker.

Reviews around machine (3.84 of 5)

  • A well thought-out machine, this coffee maker is well worth the price of two of the competitors
  • It's not the most expensive machine by far, but it's not exactly low-end either.
  • Lived up to my expectations I really like the machine makes a great cup of coffee
  • The replacement machine leaked, of course, more than one year later
  • This machine broke after the warranty expired so we are stuck with it.

Reviews around product (3.49 of 5)

  • Great product, makes better coffee than previous coffee makers.
  • In all, a less than mediocre product that hurts the Cuisinart name.
  • Bottom line is it is a cheap product that piggy-backs on an even cheaper customer service department!!!!!
  • It is too expensive in relation to its poor quality and lousy customer service product
  • Good set of controls and as always Cuisinart is a good quality product.

Reviews around water tank (2.90 of 5)

  • I am enjoying this experience ..... as well as being amazed at having the device in house
  • Disappointing as my entire brew set (holder, grinder, expresso maker, brewer, etc.) were all Cuisinart.
  • We wanted to be able to program a coffee machine and have coffee ready when we get up in the morning, as well as make larger batches when needed
  • Also, it has a charcoal filter for the water tank, I recommend changing every six months or so.

  • Now, water leaks from the bottom of the reservoir every time it is filled
  • After using it less than a year, I'm experiencing the problems with water leaking all over the counter and grounds getting into the coffee and, well, really everywhere

Reviews around company (2.69 of 5)

  • I thoroughly cleaned it as well as I could, tried different filters, coffees, amounts, etc

  • I am enjoying this experience ..... as well as being amazed at having the device in house
  • Somehow the coffee in the DCC-2650 does not taste as good as when you use the DCC-1200!
  • Much less wasted heat, steam, and noise, compared to several other coffee makers.
  • Steam from coffee making leaves water stains on surface that will not come off.
  • Even after cleaning with vinegar several times, it still spews steam.

Reviews around lid (2.24 of 5)

  • The carafe has a nice, tight lid so that it does not drip when pouring water into the well.
  • Lid on the coffee was flimsy and to difficult to take off and on for cleaning
  • It works great, but I was disappointed the proper lid was missing.
  • Once you're done making coffee, you need to open the top lid and let the inside dry out
  • The top lid is plastic, which is the funnel / conduit for your steaming hot water, which is an interesting design choice.

Reviews around customer (2.05 of 5)

  • I just got off the phone with terrible customer service at Cuisinart.
  • I will never buy another cuisinart product, terrible customer service.
  • I made the mistake of buying a cheap-o Mr. Coffee with a basket filter and was sorely disappointed
  • Unfortunately, the product doesn't last more than two years, so I declined and I'm now trying another brand and Cuisinart has lost me as a customer, probably for the rest of our lives since their products and customer service aren't up to par
  • They have lost a customer for life and we will not be giving them our money again.

Reviews around bean (2.01 of 5)

  • I am enjoying this experience ..... as well as being amazed at having the device in house
  • We grind our own beans which adds to the richness of our coffee and making it by the pot because of the amount we consume is a cost savings over the pods
  • If I use the same beans and the same amount, and grind using a stand alone grinder, and then use a more traditional coffee maker, the coffee comes out much better
  • Before I go to bed, I grind up some beans and set the coffee maker up to have a cup ready for me in the morning
  • Somehow the coffee in the DCC-2650 does not taste as good as when you use the DCC-1200!

Reviews around bite (1.61 of 5)

  • I will be returning it to get money back as I no longer have faith in the quality of these machines
  • Makes excellent coffee, offers 3 carafe heat settings for those who like coffee a bit hotter (me!) and has nice programable feature - easy to use
  • Cons: the cover for the carafe is a bit of a pain to open
  • It was a bit more expensive than some of the others, but the features seemed to justify the extra
  • Note that the end connected to the heating element may be a bit more difficult to remove as it may be melted onto the metal section it covers.

Reviews around coffee grind (1.20 of 5)

  • and it wouldn't brew the full amount of cups I intended along with coffee grinds in the coffee it did brew.
  • So, the design flaw is the lid... when you make coffee you lift the top lid and put the coffee grinds in the filter.
  • On my FIRST brew it overflowed at the top with coffee grinds
  • When making 8+ cups, the coffee grinds seem to spill over the filter and enter the pot.
  • I will be returning it to get money back as I no longer have faith in the quality of these machines
