Cuisinart DCC-1100BKP1 12-Cup Programmable Coffee Maker, black

This coffee maker replaced a ten year old version of the same make and model. It makes excellent coffee and is programmable. This is our third Cuisinart of this venerable model. We get at least ten years of hard use from them.

A good basic coffee maker that's easy to use and clean. I've used this brand and style for over 20 years.

It worked for 6 months, waste of money.

Cuisinart makes high quality coffee makers. Our last one lasted close to 20 years. I expect this one to last for close to that. I really can't find fault with anything about this.

Easy to use and easy to clean. Coffee is very hot. I’m not sure the flavor beats our pour over Chemex, but hubby loves this one.

We've had this coffee maker for a few months now. We don't really use all the features such as timed brewing etc. Our use is very basic: put in the grounds, pour the water, press the button, get the coffee.So far, the coffee is great, definitely hot enough and exactly what we'd expect flavor-wise. There are two design flaws, however. First, the entire top of the coffee maker flips up to access both the filter and the water reservoir. The problem is that having the top flipped up vertically prevents the ability to tip the pot sufficiently to pour in all the water. There is always a small amount (a few tablespoons by my estimate) left in the pot. Not a big deal, but slightly annoying as I usually now have an extra step of dumping those two tablespoons into the sink before starting the brew.The second design flaw is that unlike our previous coffee maker, a good 50% of the bottom is a circular sheet of metal. While not touching the counter, it is very, very low to the counter. Low enough that because we have it sitting in a place on the counter that is prone to spills, water has gotten under there 1) rusted that piece of metal and 2) left rust stains on our counter. It has not impacted the functionality in any descernable way and we now have it on a slightly elevated piece of tile on the counter so hopefully it will not continue to get water under there and there will be no more rust.

Husband drinks coffee all day so needs the 4 hour time limit!!! Perfect! This is the 3rd one we have, always a backup in the pantry :D

It pours back when trying to fill cups or thermos. I have to pour over the sink.
