Amazon.com Review
This sleek coffeemaker comes with a 40-ounce thermal carafe that keeps up to eight 5-ounce cups of coffee hot for six hours--that means no warming plate to turn coffee bitter. The carafe's brew-through lid seals shut after brewing is completed, preventing air from entering and spoiling full coffee flavor. The lid also permits coffee to be poured without turning the lid. Other features include a 24-hour clock-timer to automatically brew "wake-up" coffee at a selected time; a 30-second pause feature when the carafe is removed for a mid-brew pour; automatic shutoff and an audible beep when brewing is completed; an easy-read, magnified water-level indicator; and cord storage in the base. Clad in gleaming black plastic to match the accents on the brushed-stainless-steel carafe, the coffeemaker uses disposable paper filters (package included); measures 16 inches high, 7-1/2 inches wide, and 11 inches deep; and carries a three-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Summary: Moody coffeemaker 2006-12-27
Comment: Like others I have had problems with folded over filters and inexplicable floods of coffee all over the counter. The top of the carafe is difficult to place on correctly. Even when it is on correctly, the coffee still floods sometimes. It's a nice looking unit and the coffee is good but I wouldn't get it again.

Summary: Poor Design 2005-02-05
Comment: If you don't put the top on exactly the right way, you will spend your morning cleaning coffee off your counter top. After the last overrflow, it stopped working completely. The electronics must have gotten wet from the overflow. I paid $100 for this maker and it only lasted four months. Poor Poor Design

Summary: Mega Floods 2004-08-15
Comment: As with everyone else, I too have had the periodic disaster with coffee overflowing from the poorly designed coffee basket/lid. To make matters worse, when this happens, you MUST thorughly clean the grounds out of the CAP...as the cap becomes clogged with grounds when it overflows. If you don't clean it out, it just happens again and again! Makes great coffee, but CAREFULLY get the basket and coffee pot aligned so you don't have a disaster on hand.

Summary: Perk-n-Pour - Single Handed 2004-07-07
Comment: Convenience is an understatement. I have had this coffee maker thermal carafe combination for two years and it continues to work perfectly. My first favorite feature is the ease of use carafe. Once the coffee is brewed into the thermal carafe, the carafe does not require ANY ADDITIONAL STEPS TO POUR. You simply tilt the carafe and pour hot steaming brewed coffee into your favorite coffee cup. Other carafes have a button, or a twist cap or some other mechanism to fiddle with before pouring a cup of coffee. Not this one!My second favorite feature is the programmable feature - it's really easy! I didn't need a college education to program my coffee maker. The labels under the buttons washed off within a year, but that did not impair my ability to program brew times and have coffee ready at 4:30 am each morning. After two years of brewing two pots a day during the week, three on weekends, it still brews coffee quickly - I can brew two or three cups in just a few minutes each time; hence the phrase: freshly brewed! Needless to say, it works, it works easy and it works fast.

Summary: Good coffee, bad reliability 2004-01-27
Comment: I bought this coffeemaker because I wanted one with a thermal carafe. Cuisinart has a good reputation, so I was willing to spend what I thought was a lot of money for a good product...bad idea! The first one was broken right out of the box; I swapped it out for the same product, figuring it was just bad luck. One month later, the second machine broke...just stopped brewing! I emailed Cuisinart, and got no response. I'm supposed to have warranty for the product, but am frankly so disgusted, I'll just trash this expensive, unreliable coffeemaker, and buy another brand. By the way, the coffee it makes is excellent...just wish the machine worked!
