The Cuisinart DCC Coffeemaker has more than 7,500 ratings on Amazon giving it an average rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars. 74% of these reviews have given it 5 star ratings.
One of the best things about the Cuisinart DCC Coffeemaker is that it can make coffee that is pretty similar to the coffee made by coffee makers that cost three times more. So it is fast, functional and considered gorgeous by customers. It can make a pot of coffee in about ten minutes and has a pause feature as well. Another pro is that it comes with charcoal water filters which improve the taste of the coffee. The carafe keeps coffee hot for about 3 hours and warm for about 8. The gold mesh reusable filter is liked by those who want to be sustainable and by everyone for the fact that it lets zero silt through to ruin the coffee.
The main complaints people have with Cuisinart is their customer service. In particular, they are not a fan of having to pay for shipping even when their unit is under warranty still. With regards to this particular model, the common complaints are that it simply stops working in 2 to 3 months. The coffee maker automatically stops brewing for unknown reasons. This problem persisted for even those who got their unit replaced.
Bottom Line:
For people who cannot spare a lot, this product from Cuisinart is extremely affordable as well as very convenient to use. Reviews show that this product’s life span can be around 4-5 years. Overall it serves the purpose of preparing coffee well.
