This is my second. I had to have one for home and one for the travel trailer. Love the fact the carafe keeps the coffee hot for hours without a warmer, which tends to make coffee bitter. I brew a pot and take it outside to enjoy my coffee. Makes great coffee, too. I went to single cup brewing for a while, but decided this coffee maker make coffee better and I don't hve to brew another every time I want another cup. I will save the single brewer for a quick cup after dinner or for hot water for hot chocolate, hot tea and spiced cider.

Very happy after about one month of use. The stainless steel carafe keeps coffee warm for a long time -- about half a carafe of coffee from yesterday morning (miscalculated the demand for coffee) was still almost hot -- could have drunk it black that way. The carafe lid is ingenious, with small plastic balls that allow brewed coffee in but otherwise seal the lid, until a ball rolls out of the way when the carafe is tilted to pour. A concern was whether the carafe lip would pour well, or dribble, like the last Black & Decker stainless carafe did (the main reason for this purchase). It pours well. The unit is just an inch too tall to slide under the cabinets above the counter, but cabinet height is probably a variable. The included "gold" filter works fine. The stainless trim on the brew basket is attractive. The lack of detailed instruction (it's a refurb) left me to my own resources in figuring out operation, but once you get the nerve to pull the brew basket open (it opens from left to right, hinge is on the right), everything else is pretty standard. The coffee is good. I'm not a connoisseur but I think the coffee fan sites name this as one of the brewers that attains the "correct" water temperature for "ideal" coffee prep. I did notice a difference in flavor from the old B & D, which I'm sure did not reach ideal heat (it went lukewarm in 3-4 hours), and assume the cup of Eight O'Clock coffee I now enjoy is closer to the ideal (but for the cheesy choice of beans). A bargain, glad I went refurb rather than a cheap one (i.e. same price, lesser quality) at a local store. I have bought two Cuisinart refurbs (the other a toaster) and both have been indistinguishable from new (other than the plain boxing) and seem to be ready for a long run. Obviously, not heavy duty commercial, but excellent in the home appliance class.Read full review
I purchased this coffee maker as a reconditioned model from a Cuisinart company. Wise move in that I got it for a great price with the same warranty as a new one. This is a great coffee maker! The first cup is hot and 2 hours later, the next cup is hot. The coffee maker looks sharp and it's always clean. It compliments my kitchen instead of looking like an eye sore. No burner clean ups or discoloration. The coffee makes right in the stainless steel crafe and when it's complete, just take the crafe to the table, patio, etc. and enjoy a fine cup of coffee. The 12 cup capacity is wonderful. We have two very large mugs of coffee when we use it and there's still some left for unexpected guests. If I set the timer for 6 a.m. and don't get up until 9 a.m. I still can have a hot cup of coffee waiting for me without it being burned and over cooked. In addition, when it completes a brew, the coffee maker turns off. No more worries of "Did I turn off the coffee maker?". The only con is it dosen't have a cord keeper. Not withstanding, it is, without a doubt, the best coffee maker I have ever owned. Do yourself a favor, buy one today!Read full review
With 3 morning coffee drinkers we needed a true 12 cup capacity coffee maker, We like the no burner carafe style, keeps coffee hot for about 4 hours, then it's empty. Brews it hot, pause and pour is good, Did not want a lot of frills just a simple unit that doesn't overheat the brew or burn my house down. I don't like that it is a bit over 16" tall and will not store on the counter under the wall cabinets. I also don't care for the beep when done feature, minor Overall good value, hard to find combination,
Great carafe that keeps the coffee warm OVERNIGHT! Amazing. A full 12 cups --instead of the usual 10 or 8 cups offered by most carafe coffee makers. The grounds basket is easy to remove and clean which is a big plus. The only complaint I have with this coffee maker is that the carafe pours a little slow. The coffee kinda trickles out of the carafe instead of a stream. This isn't enough of a drawback to give this coffee maker a low rating. When my last one of these quit I bought two more (1 as a backup). I have given them as gifts and my friends love this coffee maker as much as I do. It is a little pricy but worth it.
