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

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 (!).

Another cold cup of coffee ten minutes after I poured the first one.
This is a great coffee maker, and it makes an excellent cup of coffee
Then the 1--4 cup feature broke, and the heating plate broke so all you got was a lukewarm pot of coffee.
It makes a great cup of coffee and runs for years and years.
The filter and water temp makes for a great cup of coffee

I love my Cuisinart coffee pot very , I purchased my first pot in
Great coffee pot keeps coffee hot love the auto turn off
It makes a really good pot of coffee or just one big cup.
Then the 1--4 cup feature broke, and the heating plate broke so all you got was a lukewarm pot of coffee.
We love this coffee pot, great price now, when I originally bought my last one it was double this price

Filter paper folds over easily causing hot water to pass outside coffee in filter, hence poor taste
I use it every weekend and it makes great tasting coffee
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.
The carafe doesn't drip, the settings easy to use, and it makes a great tasting coffee.

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

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.

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.

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.

Very unhappy as we have had this coffee maker less than 2 years
Although somewhat expensive, this is a great coffee maker.
This coffee maker was good until it broke, after just 4 years
I liked this coffee maker and had it for a while when the on/ off switch failed
I do not recommend this coffee maker to anyone thinking of buying it.

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.

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.

Somehow the coffee in the DCC-2650 does not taste as good as when you use the DCC-1200!
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

After many emails the company refused to do anything to acknowledge my complaint
I thoroughly cleaned it as well as I could, tried different filters, coffees, amounts, etc
Don't trust the company to make something worthwhile now.

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.

Shame on me for being crazy enough to buy another one and expect a different result.
It's a damn shame that such an expensive piece of equipment is having problems already

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.

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.

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!

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.

It will not be repaired because of all the negative comments on this
Even our friend, who is a very successful caterer commented about it!
Online reviews of Cuisinart appear below; and, that lending my dissatisfied “voice” will be among many for Cuisnart's 1.5 ratings out of 5;or a different site,86% comments [163] were negative out of 186 online filings
Lesson learned - read the reviews - many negative comments
I saw some negative comments from folks making the maximum number of cups

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
