Cuisinart 12-Cup Programmable Coffeemaker Reviews

I bought The Cuisinart Model 1100 coffee maker after much research and looking for an all "black" model. It was a little pricier than I have purchased in the past (Mr. Coffees) but my specifications had changed, too.
I like everything about this coffee maker. The carafe is large and pours well, the charcoal filter for the water makes the coffee taste great, and it has a timer and auto shut-off and many other desirable features.
Highly recommend!

The Cuisinart 12-cup programmable coffee maker is the first programmable I've owned. I resisted all the bells and whistles for quite awhile, being something of a purist, but I really appreciate that it tells me when it's ready (with 5 beeps) and when it stops keeping the coffee hot (with 2 beeps). I love that it actually keeps the coffee hot as long as you want it to! The design is chic and attractive and I enjoy the gold filter feature and the charcoal filter inside. The coffee has a "pure" taste that I appreciate, too. I also like the feature that allows you to make a small pot when you want...

We have had this coffee maker for over 5 years now, and I have not even been tempted to look at replacing it or buying a different one. It is easy to use, easy to set the clock and timer, and it does what it is supposed to do-make wonderful, hot coffee that stays hot for as long as you set the auto-shut off. My sister-in-law even commented at Christmas dinner, "Wow, this coffee is still hot! My coffee maker doesn't keep the coffee hot for long at all." The "pause and serve" feature is great for those of us who get impatient and want that first cup of joe in the morning before the whole pot is done....

I'm very unsatisfied with this coffee maker...not is it difficult to set but also has to be cleaned more than once every 30 days...I can't believe that even with a filter on the plumbing in the house this coffee pot requires a cleaning every 10-15 days...

Not only that.. but it also has a leaky carafe when pouring water into chamber...think twice...

Cuisinart Programable Coffee maker is the best.  I bought one for my sister, and she loves hers too.  It makes perfect coffee everytime. I love the stainless steel and black.  It matches my other appliances.
