Cuisinart 12- cup programmable Thermal Coffeemaker DTC-975BKN Review

This coffee maker makes the morning, whether you are a morning person or not. It's a 12 cup, so it's got a great capacity. It's got the built in filter, although I always use a paper filter as well. And, it's got a thermal coffee carafe. The carafe really does retain the heat for an amazingly long period of time, like all day.

And, the best part is, this coffee maker is programmable. It's easy to program, easy to use. Once you have it set up, as long as you want it making coffee at the same time every day, you can set it with just the push of one button.

The only thing I don't like about the carafe is that the pour spout takes a little getting used to. It's more of a pour slot than a spout so I spilt the first couple of times. I also wish that the coffee would not drip once the carafe is pulled away. I have a permanent coffee stain on the heating plate from where I got too anxious and pulled out the coffee before a full pot was made.
