Getting another one but would rate it just 3-1/2 starsNov 18, 2008 Our group has broken more glass carafes than I can recall and coffee makers with metal carafes seemed to change the flavor of coffee; so we picked this coffee maker. It has already outlasted the last few coffee makers. Some people are intimidated about making coffee in it just because it is not like the other cheapo makers we've had in the past and I admit that it is cumbersome to add water using the its own reservoir but it is worth getting a separate pitcher to fill it with water. We're finally getting a second one to replace another coffee maker that has been leaking for months.
This unit is NOT practical if you need to make coffee to fill thermal carafes. It is very dangerous and difficult not to scald yourself when pouring hot coffee from the reservoir.
Makes great coffee!Nov 11, 2008 Our Mr. Coffee broke after about 10 months of use and then we went out and purchased a Kitchen Aid that quit working after 2 weeks. After reading these reviews online for the Cuisinart brand we decided to give this coffee maker a shot.
Wow, we are extremely pleased with the taste this maker produces - it is so good!! I'm actually shocked that this great of coffee comes out of my kitchen. I know some people have voiced frustration since it doesn't come with a coffee pot, but it's really not that big of a deal - any pitcher will work and there is a measurement indicator on the side.
I would definitely recommend this brand out of the top 3 I listed above.
Great, Hot Coffee, but a few warnings...Nov 03, 2008 I read a lot of reviews before deciding to purchase this coffeemaker. The most popular aspects of this product seemed to be that there was no carafe to wash, and that it kept a good amount of coffee hot for quite awhile. A lot of people were really pleased with how it looked in their kitchens, as well.
We've had ours for a few months now and enjoy it a lot. It really does make excellent coffee, and can keep it very hot without burning it for an impressive amount of time. In fact, you can program how long you want to keep the internal warmer on. Once the warmer turns off--and it makes a few beeping noises to signal this--the coffee cools down fairly quickly.
I'm not thrilled as most with how it looks--in fact to me it looks like it is missing something!--but that's not a big issue for us.
This is what I've learned after owning it for awhile: (1) While this machine is marketed as a 12-cup coffeemaker, it makes the same amount as most 10-cup makers. This is because this maker's cups are considered 5 oz, where as usually a cup (of coffee) is 6 oz. So, you get 12 5 oz cups with this one, or 10 6 oz cups with most others. (Keep this in mind when determining your coffee to water ratio--it took us a while to get it right). Anyway, do not expect to be able to make more coffee than you can with most other makers.
(2) There is no carafe to clean, but there are still 3 separate pieces that must be removed and cleaned each time. I don't find the "no carafe" feature to be that big of a boon.
(3) Others have mentioned this a lot: you cannot fit a very tall cup under the spout. My husband has a shorter than average commuter mug, and not only does he have to slide out the grate, he also has to pick the whole coffeemaker up to fill his cup. I would say that you probably could not use one of those trendy tall, slim mugs even, without having to remove the grate.
That said, I am a big coffee snob and I LOVE this coffee maker! I like my coffee really hot, and that's just what I get. And it makes very yummy coffee, which was our biggest concern. It's kinda fun to place your mug on the little "X" on the grate (to center it), and then push the lever to fill your cup.
I would definitely buy this again.
Goodbye Carafe!Nov 02, 2008 My in-laws had one of these and after using it I bought one for myself. It is easy to clean, has a built-in timer and best of all the last cup of coffee doesn't get that burned flavor anymore. It comes with it's own filter so you won't need paper filters anymore. It also has a charcoal filter in case you have hard water. The only drawback is that it is designed for regular coffee cups. A large to-go mug won't fit under the dispenser.

DCC-2000 Coffee StationNov 02, 2008 I bought this coffee maker because it used a tank instead of a caraffe - eliminating the possibility of dropping / breaking glass. The single cup dispense leaves the other coffee warm because it is surrounded with heat instead of being heated from the bottom and cooling as it rises in the caraffe. The bad thing is after light use .... the programable feature stopped working. Now, it it won't even brew coffee when it is turned on. I cannot believe I spent all this money on a coffee maker that only worked 18 months. I should have stayed with my old workhorse coffee maker. No coffee is a good coffee if it cannot be brewed.
